Life

Origin and family

Johann Morrien came from the Westphalian noble family Morrien , which was one of the leading families in the knighthood in the Middle Ages and early modern times and held the office of Hereditary Marshal in the Duchy of Münster from 1350 to 1691 . He was the son of Hereditary Marshal Sander Morrien and his wife Frederun Wolff zu Lüdinghausen. His brothers were the Hereditary Marshal Gerhard , the Provost Alexander and the Cloppenburger Drost Dietrich . This had Anna v. Valcke married to Rockel and so came into the possession of the Falkenhof in Rheine.

Act

With the receipt of the tonsure on April 26, 1513, Johann was prepared for a spiritual life. He studied at the University of Cologne and received on 26 August 1518 papal commission on Münstersche Dompräbende that had become vacant by the death of the canon Henry Schencking. On January 4, 1519 he took possession of the prebende. On December 13, 1549 he became archdeacon in Billerbeck and on December 27, 1557 he assumed the office of Domsenior. On June 30, 1559 he became the owner of the Obedience Greving . In his will of March 10, 1559, he stated that he wanted to be buried next to his father and brother Alexander in the cathedral in Münster. He rewarded his two daughters, who were married in Werne, with 100 Reichstalers each because they received less for the bride's treasure than their sister who was married in Coesfeld. His sons were also considered. On January 21, 1564, a process had to decide on the successor to his canonate. Heinrich von Rechede won over Gottfried von Raesfeld .
