Page "Absalon" Paragraph 8

The destruction of this chief sally-port of the Wendish pirates enabled Absalon considerably to reduce the Danish fleet.

But he continued to keep a watchful eye over the Baltic, and in 1170 destroyed another pirate stronghold, farther eastward, at Dziwnów on the isle of Wolin.

Absalon's last military exploit came in 1184, off Stralsund at Whitsun, when he soundly defeated a Pomeranian fleet that had attacked Denmark's vassal, Jaromir of Rügen.
