Sander 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 Prince Diocese of Münster from 1350 to 1691 . He was the son of Hereditary Marshal Gerhard Morrien and his wife Margarethe von Borghorst zu Horstmar. His brothers were Dietrich (canon in Münster), Bernhard (pastor in Olfen) and Gerd ( waiter in Cappenberg). His sister Margarethe was a canon in St. Aegidii Münster and Richmod was married to Heidenreich Droste zu Vischering .

On April 19, 1465, Sander received from Pope Paul II a promise to the cathedral priest of the deceased Canon Bernhard Voets, which he came into possession of on July 4, 1465. On April 6, 1479 he received the Vicarie zu Lüdinghausen. After the death of his brother Dietrich in 1482, he became Hereditary Marshal of Nordkirchen. In this role he chaired the state parliament . In disputes between the bishop and his vassals, he was an arbiter in feudal matters. After a bishop's election, he received the state privileges of the newly elected and was president of the knighthood in the diocese and kept the keys to the knighthood archive.

In 1487 he renounced and married Frederun von Lüdinghausen. From the marriage the children Gerhard (his successor as Hereditary Marshal), Dietrich (owner of his grandmother Margarete's estate in Horstmar, founder of the line in Horstmar and Rheine) and the later Provost Alexander, emerged. After Sander's death, Frederun set an epitaph in his honor in Münster Cathedral .
