George I. (1493-1531) and his brother Barnim IX. (1501-1573) initially continue the policies introduced by their father, Bogislaw the Great, under joint sovereignty. When George dies, his 16-year-old son Philipp I. (1515-1560) again divides the duchy in 1532, sharing territorial power with his uncle. Philipp is awarded Pomerania-Wolgast, while Pomerania-Stettin goes to his uncle.
