; When his father died, Johann IV was still a minor and it was his uncle, Duke Albrecht, who acted on his behalf. When Duke Albrecht died, Johann IV, together with his cousin Albrecht, took control of the government of Mecklenburg. Also together with Albrecht he founded a highschool at Rostock which later became a university.

Johann IV married twice: in 1400, with Jutta von Hoya, who died in 1415; and a year later with Katharina of Saxe-Lauenburg who survived him by twenty-six years. Johann IV died in 1422 and Katharina acted as regent for their sons.¹

3. Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels Fürstliche Häuser , Reference: 1959.¹

; Her first husband was Duke Johann VII of Mecklenburg-Werle who died in 1414. As his childless widow she married a cousin's widower, another Duke of Mecklenburg, Johann IV. By him she became the mother of two sons. As Katharina and Johann IV's first wife were first cousins, they should have asked permission from the pope when they married. As Johann and Katharina had omitted to do this, they were placed under the church's ban for two years.

When Johann IV died Katharina acted as regent for their sons. She had to cope with uprisings in the cities of Rostock and Wismar. Several of the city elders ware executed by the citizens of Wismar and when Katharina tried to intervene she was unable to prevent the replacement of the remaining city elders. Even the Emperor Sigismund became involved as everyone objected to the executions. After a while Katharina succeeded in restoring the peace and the old city elders were brought back while their replacements had to beg for forgiveness in public.

The uprising in Rostock took longer to quell. She appeared with an army but Rostock was prepared. Again the Emperor Sigismund became involved but Rostock had to lose its position as a Hanze city before the citizens gave in, and again the citizens had to take back the city elders they had banished.

The exact date of her death is not known but she died after 18 November 1448.¹

     Heinrich IV-II "der Fette/Dicke" (?) Duke von Mecklenburg-Schwerin was born in 1417.^1,2 He married Dorothea (?) Markgräfin von Brandenburg, daughter of Friedrich I/VI (?) Elector of Brandenburg, Kurfürst von Brandenburg and Elisabeth (?) Von Bayern-Landshut, in May 1432.^1,3,2

Heinrich IV-II "der Fette/Dicke" (?) Duke von Mecklenburg-Schwerin died on 9 March 1477.^1,2
      ; " When his father died in 1422, both Heinrich IV and his brother Johann were minors and it was their mother who acted on their behalf. In 1432 the Emperor Sigismund acknowledged this regency. In 1436 they started to act on their own and increased their territories when they inherited part of Werle. However, Heinrich IV's father-in-law, Friedrich I, Elector of Brandenburg, disputed this inheritance but his son, Elector Friedrich II, allowed them undisputed ownership. This generosity of Friedrich II came with a price: when they signed the treaty in 1442 at Wittstock, which ended the dispute, they had to agree, should their family become extinct, that the Mecklenburg lands would go to the family of this Elector of Brandenburg.

In 1471 the Stargard branch of his family became extinct and so he came into possession of all the Mecklenburg territories. However, during his reign the country had not prospered and many had debts outstanding. Robberies were the order of the day which badly affected peace as well as trade. In 1472 the first book-printing press was established in Mecklenburg. Duke Heinrich IV died on 9 March 1477 and was buried at Doberan."²

Dorothea (?) Markgräfin von Brandenburg died on 19 January 1491 at age 70.^1,2
      ; Leo van de Pas cites: Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels Fürstliche Häuser , Reference: 1959.¹

; "She was born on 9 February 1420 at Cadolzburg. On 6 December 1423, at Perleberg, she was engaged to the six-year-old Heinrich IV of Mecklenburg, which engagement had been arranged by her father and his mother. The agreement was renewed on 24 November 1427, again at Perleburg, and finally they wed in May 1432 but this was probably not consummated until 1435 or 1436. They became the parents of eight children of which five reached maturity.

Heinrich IV died in 1477 and her remaining years seem to have been spent in a convent at Rhena. Here she apparently died on 19 January 1491 but was buried in the church of Gadebusch."¹ She was Markgräfin von Brandenburg between 1420 and 1491.¹

; "Magnus II was very much concerned with the well-being of his people. He encouraged trade by sea for which the river Elbe was used; lack of money prevented him from extending this trade to Schwerin. In 1478 he married Sophia of Pommern; who had previously been engaged to his elder brother Johann, who had died in 1474 before the marriage had taken place. In her grief Sophia had sworn never to marry but Pope Innocent VIII relieved her of this pledge. Magnus II and Sophia became the parents of seven children.

He tried to assist the University of Rostock by using church funds to pay for its professors. However, in 1487 the people of Rostock objected to this and the argument became known as the 'Cathedral Feud'. This feud took seven years before peace was established. The University of Rostock had suffered during this period but soon re-established its fame in Northern Europe.

In 1495 the Emperor Maximilian had issued an edict at Worms and to fulfil their obligations to protect the peace Duke Magnus II was joined by his brother Balthasar and the Dukes of Brunswick and Pommern, and in 1498 they signed a treaty at Tempzin. To assist with the legal system, Germany was divided in areas and Mecklenburg was placed in the area of Lower-Saxony.

In Mecklenburg there was the very old tradition of annual meetings called 'Landestag' where the leaders of the community would confer. This meeting was traditionally held out in the open, usually by a bridge at Sagsdorf not far from Sternberg. The right to appear belonged to the religious and wordly leaders of Mecklenburg, bishops, abbots, knights and later the leaders of the cities.

Magnus II died in 1503 from a contagious disease at Wismar and was buried at Doberan. Sophia survived him only until 1504."²
