The title of King of the Wends denoted sovereignty or claims over once Slavic peoples Slavic lands of southern coasts of the Baltic Sea , those otherwise called Mecklenburg , Holstein and Pomerania , and was used from 12th century to 1972 by Kings of Denmark and from ca 1540 to 1973 by the Kings of Sweden . The generally accepted interpretation is that the word refers to the Wends , a Slavic people that lived on the south shores of the Baltic Sea , although the situation is further complicated by the existence of the Vends , located between the Finns and the Wends and with somewhat unknown origin. The title s one poetic explanation also was kingship over the antique people of the Vandals vandalorum rex , but that idea came only in 16th century. A recent interpretation, not much supported in academic research, has been made that the part Vend in the later established titles of the Kings of Sweden three kingdoms King of the Svear, G tar and Vends Svears, G ters och Venders konung means Finland, the form presumably being akin to Vindland.

However, only forty years after the adoption of the title king of the Wends began the Swedish kings to style themselves as Grand Prince of Finland as well. King of Denmark Kings of Denmark bore the title for eight centuries, after it was first adopted by King Canute VI of Denmark Canute VI reigned 1182 to 1202 , who conquered the lands of the Wends in Pomerania and Mecklenburg . In Germanic languages, the name was Wends, and in medieval documentation the Latin name was sclavorum rex , referring to the Slavic peoples in and around the region now known as Mecklenburg . In 16th century, Latin sclavorum was changed to vandalorum also by Danish kings, showing the new poetic idea. The Danish Kings continued to use the title over the next seven hundred years until 1972, when Queen Margrethe II of Denmark ... more details

Boso of Merseburg died November 970 was the first Bishop of Merseburg in Saxony Anhalt , and Apostle of the Wends . Boso, a native of Bavaria , was a Order of St. Benedict Benedictine monk of St. Emmeram s Abbey Saint Emmeram s in Regensburg , from where he was summoned to the court of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor Otto I , who, considering the conversion of the lately subjugated Wends indispensable to the security of the German Empire, sent Boso to convert them to Christianity . In the beginning Boso s mission appeared useless, because of the hatred of the Wends for the Germans who had deprived them of their liberty. Boso however studied their language in order to preach to them in their own tongue, and gradually gained their trust and respect. In 967 or 968, Boso was able to provide for the creation of three new bishoprics based at Merseburg, Diocese of Meissen Meissen and Diocese of Zeitz Zeitz . He chose Merseburg as his own bishopric Hugh, Bishop of Zeitz Hugo , another Benedictine monk, became Bishop of Zeitz, and Burchard, Bishop of Meissen Burchard , of Meissen. All three were consecrated on Christmas Day 968, by their metropolitan, Adalbert of Magdeburg . Boso continued his missionary labours, but died on a visit to his native Bavaria. He was succeeded by Gisilher, Archbishop of Magdeburg Gisilher .

Thus are in Brodersby, Schleswig Flensburg Brodersby beyond the Schlei in Angeln the remains of a castle and the Margarethenwalls but in the middle of the 11th century were several very bloody battles with the Wends. After king Charles X Gustav of Sweden together with Brandenburg had defeated the Polish army near Warsaw in 1656, its troops passed Missunde, where they made large destruction.
