Eric I, Duke of Mecklenburg

Erik, Duke of Mecklenburg (c. 1367/1368 – 26 July 1397) was the eldest son and heir apparent of Albert, King of Sweden. Erik played a significant role in his father's attempts to secure and reclaim the Swedish throne. Erik and Albert were defeated in battle of Åsle in 1389 and imprisoned by Queen Margaret I of Denmark. They were released in 1395 against a ransom guaranteed by the Hanseatic League.

Albert tried to regain the Swedish crown by sending Erik to conquer Gotland in 1396. Erik briefly became the ruler of Gotland. His death in 1397 led to the loss of Gotland from Mecklenburg to pirates, who were later conquered by the Teutonic Order.

Sophia of Pomerania

Sofia of Pomerania-Wolgast (died before 21 August 1408), was a German noblewoman. She was the daughter of Duke Bogislav VI of Pomerania-Wolgast and the spouse and widow of a brief ruler of Gotland, the deposed Swedish Prince Eric of Mecklenburg. Before she left the island, she briefly held a position of power herself in Gotland after his death in 1397.

On 12 or 13 February 1396, she married Eric I, Duke of Mecklenburg, son of the deposed Swedish King, Duke Albert of Mecklenburg. She accompanied Duke Eric (as he was called) to the Swedish island of Gotland, which he conquered and ruled with the aid of the Victual Brothers. The couple had no children.

On 26 July 1397, Eric died, and Sofia was left in charge of Gotland. She then appointed Swedish nobleman Sven Sture, an ally of the Victual Brothers, to be her "hövitsman" (regent) in Gotland. In 1398, Sofia left the island in the company of Sven Sture and her late consort's cousin, Duke John of Mecklenburg, when Visby was taken by the Teutonic Knights.

She married Prince Nicolas V of Werle-Waren and became the mother of Jutta of Werle, consort of Prince Henry of Mecklenburg-Stargard
