The Duchy of Pomerania-Rügenwalde,[lower-alpha 1] also known as the Duchy of Rügenwalde, and the Duchy of Darłowo,[lower-alpha 2] was a feudal duchy in Western Pomerania within the Holy Roman Empire. Its capital was Darłowo. It was ruled by the Griffin dynasty.[1] It existed in the early modern period, from 1569 to 1625.[1][2]
