Claim: Pribislav of Mecklenburg converted to Roman Catholicism and established a Slavic dynasty in Mecklenburg.
Evidence: The date of Pribislav's conversion to Roman Catholic Christianity is disputed; it has been dated to before the death of Niklot in 1160 or to the prince's restoration to power in 1167. Pribislav's restoration to power established an originally Slavic dynasty in Mecklenburg that lasted until 1918.
