Tetzlav, also known as Tezlaw, Tetzlaw and Tetislaw (before 1163 – between 1170 and 1181) was a Prince of Rügen.
== Life == According to the Pomeranian chronicler, Thomas Kantzow, he was a son of the Rani king, Ratislaus of Rügen (1105−1140). Even before the first recorded mention of Tetzlav in 1164 as King of the island territory of Rügen by the writer, Saxo Grammaticus, the Rani tribe were the object of several campaigns by the Danish king, Valdemar I and the Saxon duke, Henry the Lion. Tetzlav and his co-regent brother, Jaromar, had to acknowledge the suzerainty of their conquerors each time. For example, they took part in 1162 in Valdemar's military campaign against Wolgast and in 1163 in the consecration of Lübeck Cathedral by Henry the Lion.
