Pomerania-Wolgast reunited after the death of Barnim VII and Barnim VIII in 1451. Both dukes died of the plague. Joachim of Pomerania-Stettin (also in 1451), Eltmar and Swantibor, sons of Wartislaw X, and Otto III of Pomerania-Stettin (both in 1464) died of the same disease. Thus ended the Pomeranian-Stettin lineage.
