	The way
		Relations between the Frankish emperor and the Obodrite leaders were very close in the decades around 800, due to the common Saxo-Danish enemy.
		Oldenburg (known as Starigard by the Slavs, and Brandehuse by the Scandinavians) was another trading centre in the territory of the Obodrites.
		Hedeby remained a Danish town despite its multinational population; in the same way Reric-Mecklenburg was Obodrite, Wolin a town of the Wolin Slavs; Truso, Prussian; Staraja Ladoga, Slav and Finno-Ugrian; and Novgorod an international mercantile centre of the Ilmen Slavs.

		The castle of the rulers of the Obodrites was situated in, Mecklenburg not fat from the Baltic near
		Obodrites, it was one of the largest of Slav defensive structures.
		The main concern of the Slav kingdoms of the Obodrites, the Pomeranians, the Poles and above all the Kiev Rus' was with territorial questions and national administration.

	Obotrites
		The Obotrites (sometimes Abodrites, Obodrites) were a mixed group among the Slavic peoples who had in the 6th century AD settled in the regions later known as Mecklenburg and Schleswig-Holstein in what is now north-eastern Germany.
		They alternately fought with and served as tributaries to the Frankish kings and their successors in the East, acknowledging finally the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Empire in 1170, after which the region underwent rapid Germanisation.
		In common with other Slavic groups, they were often described by Frankish sources as Wends, a term properly denoting the distinct (but possibly related) ancestors of today's Sorbs, who lived to the south-east.

	The Conversion and Destruction of the Wends
		Among the Obodrites it appears to have been all the tribe, including women and children, indicating that participation was probably at the level of family or clan rather than of the individual.
		An instance of this is the rebellion of 1160, where the Obodrites continued to raid Denmark despite their leaders' agreement to stop.
		The Duke was ready to attack the Obodrites and he used this as an excuse to do so.

		While he was waiting for the Slavs whom he had summoned to arrive, news reached him that Witzin, the king of the Obodrites had been caught in an ambush that the Saxons had set on the Weser, and that they had killed him as he was trying to cross the river.
		They took up arms and invaded the country of the Obodrites, who were allies of the French, and had always behaved loyally towards them from the time that they had made their pledge.
		Eburis, one of the king's emissaries, was at the battle, fighting on the side of the Obodrites, on the right wing.

	Regents of Mecklenburg
		Before the German conquest 1160 was Mecklenburg inhabited by Slavic tribes, the most important of these were the Obodrites, but thereafter were the Slavs gradually assimilated by the German settlers that arrived in large numbers.
		It had been the Saxon duke Heinrich the Lion that had conquered Mecklenburg and he installed a descendent of the Obodrites princes (Pribislaw) as his vassal.
		After having been under Danish supremacy 1200-1227 was Mecklenburg once again German, but the overlordship of it was claimed by both Saxony and Brandenburg until the Mecklenburg princes were elevated to dukes 1348 whereby Mecklenburg became subordinated only to the German Emperor.

	Projekat Rastko - Luzica / Project Rastko - Lusatia
		These advances lacked secular support, however, and the revolt of 1066 demonstrated anew how easily they could be swept away; for the Church in Slavia had no parish system and only a handful of bishoprics in the extreme west of the land.
		The Obodrites, for instance, had a Christian faction within the tribe from the tenth century on.l6 Perhaps they simply did not know what to make of Christianity.
		The results of the Wendish Crusade were theses no land was taken, and the Obodrites received baptism--falsely, said Helmhold.82 A few oppida, such as Malchow, were destroyed, but no place of importance.83 The baptisms were indeed falsely received, and the piracy was not ended.

	WHKMLA : History of the Wends, prior to 814
		The WENDS - a collective name for the west Slavic people who settled the region west of the Oder river - have settled the lands to the east of the Elbe and Saale rivers, and beyond that line in the upper Main and Altmark-Luechow-Dannenberg region during the Barbaric Peoples Migration, probably in the 6th century.
		At the time of Charlemagne, sources report of the OBODRITES who settled between the Baltic Sea and the lower Elbe in what is Mecklenburg today, the WILZI and HEVELLI in modern Brandenburg, the SORBS (LUSATIANS) in modern Saxony.
		The German settled area in Holstein was separated from the Baltic Sea by a small stretch of Slavic country, WAGRIA; the Wagrians were a branch of the Obodrites.

		In general Obodrites are the best documented of the 3 'Greater tribes'.
		The common Obodrites themselves were Germanized quick enough already - by the end of the 18th century had these languages disappeared.
		Drewians had no political system developed as they submitted themselves to Germany early on, which ensured their 'autonomy' in the region otoh (they were used to defend the German borders from especially Obodrites).

		The Slavs, out of their ancient hatred of the Obodrites, willingly joined the army that king Godofrid led against the Obodrites, and they returned to their territories as soon as they were able.
		The Danes levied many charges at the Obodrites, and the Obodrites did the same for the Danes, in the presence of the emperor and the barons of France, but both sides left without getting anything done, and the case remained unfinished.
		The spot was on a river called the Strurie (Stor), and, in the language of the country, "Essephet." Count Egbert and the counts of the country undertook and directed the construction of the city, and they began to fortify it on the first Ides of March.

		Later the region became known as Wendenland, Wends was the German name for the Slavic tribes who inhabited the region.
		Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony, conquered the Obodrites in 1160, after a long resistance led by its last pagan prince, Niklot, who died the same year.
		Przybyslaw [Pribislav], son of Niklot, became Henry’s vassal and founder of the Mecklenburg dynasty; he accepted Christianity, acknowledged German suzerainty and was recognized in 1170 as a prince of the Holy Roman Empire.

	WHKMLA : History of the Wends, 11th to 13th Century
		The rulers of the Obodrites (1170) and Pomoranians accepted both christianity and the sovereignty of the Empire, the former thus being transformed into the DUCHY OF MECKLENBURG, the latter into the DUCHY OF POMERANIA.
		For the Obodrites the DIOCESIS OF SCHWERIN was formed, for the Pomoranians the DIOCESIS OF KAMMIN.
		Both dukes, seeing the positive effect of German settlement on the revenues of their neighbours, invited German settlers - both burghers and farmers - to come into their country and settle.

	Germanisation of the land between the Elbe-Saale and the Oder rivers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In the north, that is in the Obodrite and Veleti lands, Germanic political control was not fully established before the middle of the twelfth century.
		In the north, a substantial episcopal tithe was paid to the bishopric of Oldenburg, by at least the Western Obodrites, from the middle of the tenth century.
		The areas conquered earlier, like the western and central Sorbian and Western Obodrite lands must have had a greater proportion of bondsmen than other regions.Nevertheless, the uniform trend was toward an increased ratio of un-free people in society, the same as in other parts of the Europe.

		If that is so, Western Slav Obodrites may have been familiar with this method.
		We know that Charlemagne often used his Obodrite allies against the Saxons, without any qualms about allying himself with pagans, and therefore they may have used freely methods of warfare that were forbidden to the Christian Franks.
		However, 776 is a very early date for Obodrite intervention on a large scale and the Syburg is distinctly too far west to give much credence to this explanation9.

		As Wends were Slavs, while some say the Slavs derived from the Neuri, the Obodrites may just have been of Buz, son of Nahor.

		The reason we hear so much about the Viking raids is that the poor, victimised Frankish and Anglo-Saxon Christians wrote so much about them.
		I'm fairly sure if the chronicles of the Saxons, Picts, Obodrites, Wilzi, Wends, Lombards, Aquitanians, Basques and Danes would have something to say about the Franks if we had them.
		Placed into perspective, the Viking era is still impressive, but its maritime accomplishments don't look that unique any more.
