The duchy was formed in 1190 when it separated from Duchy of Szczecin. It was a feudal duchy under the sovereignty of Denmark. The state was located in the Słupsk and Sławno Land in Pomerania and its capital was Sławno.[1] Bogislaw III became the ruler of the country.[2] His existence remain contested, instead being proposed by some historians to be Bogusław I or Bogislaw II.[3] After his death, he was succsided by Ratibor II, whose existence also remains contested.
