Claim: Pribislav of Mecklenburg established a Slavic dynasty in Mecklenburg and he eventually converted to Roman Catholicism.
Evidence: Pribislav's restoration to power established an originally Slavic dynasty in Mecklenburg that lasted until 1918. 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.
