Marsk
Stig Andersen was one of the murderers of King Erik Klipping of
Denmark in Finderup Lade, 22nd November 1286. At the following
trial Marsk Stig and 'the sworn' were convicted as outlaws. This
painting of the outlaws, riding from Finderup Lade, is at Frederiksborg
Castle. In 1290 the outlaws took Hjelm - with help from the Norwegian
king - and made a castle there. From Hjelm they assaulted Danish coastal
towns in order to fight King Erik Menved, who was the new King. They
also made a coining in order to compromise the Danish king's monetary
system. Marsk Stig Andersen died in 1293,
but it is not known for sure where he died. The outlaws stayed on
Hjelm until 1306, when the king stormed the island.
