The publication contains a defence of the author's thesis (questioned by Gerard Labuda) on the tributary (later feudal) rights of the German Reich to Pomerania in the 10th-14th c. as inherited from Carolingian times. That sovereignty was to be executed by the Reich through the state of Poland (10th-12th c.), then Denmark (12th- early 13th c.), eventually transferring it to the margraves of Brandenburg in 1231. With the approval of the German King, they transferred part of those rights concerning Eastern Pomerania to the Teutonic Order in 1310.
