It had been understood that Margaret should, at the first convenient opportunity, provide the three kingdoms with a king who was to be a kinsman of all the three old dynasties, although in Norway it was specified that she would continue ruling alongside the new king, while in Sweden, the nobles assured Margaret that they were content to do without a king throughout her lifetime, which they hoped would be long.{{sfn|White|2010|p=56}} In 1389 she proclaimed her great-nephew, Bogislav, who changed his name to [[Erik of Pomerania]] (grandson of Henry of Mecklenburg), king of Norway, having adopted him and his sister [[Catherine of Pomerania-Stolp|Catherine]]. In 1396, homage was rendered to him in Denmark and Sweden, while Margaret once again assumed the regency during his minority.
