- Stora Markie lies approx 2 km west of Andersl?v, which is north-east of Trelleborg; the estate was already quite large in the middle ages. The first known owner is the Knight Jep (Jeppe or Jacob) Jensen Galen, who described himself in 1351 as being of Markie. Jep Jensen Galen was a rich and powerful gentleman, and brother to Peder Jensen, the Archbishop of Lund. In 1362 he sold Markie to King Valdemar Atterdag; who later that year gave the estate to his youngest daughter Margrethe as a dowry in her marriage to Haakon, the son of King Magnus Eriksson of Sweden.
