Zemuzil, Duke of Pomerania

Zemuzil, Duke of Pomerania

Zemuzil (fl. 11th Century) is the first historical verified Duke of Pomerania, recorded in 1046 in the Annals of Niederaltaich. In Polish literature the name is sometimes spelled "Siemomysł".

The record in 1046 describes him as "Zemuzil dux Bomeranorum", Latin for Duke of the Pomeranians. The record refers to imperial meetings at Merseburg and Meissen, to where Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor had invited the dukes of Bohemia, Poland and Pomerania in order to grant judgement in their quarrels. Little is further known about Zemuzil giving rise to some speculations.
