1918 · 1933 The last of the MáriássysPoslední Máriássyovci

Czechoslovakia's land reform after 1918 broke up the great estates and capped how much land one family could hold, which took the ground out from under the old landed nobility all over Slovakia. The Máriássys held on at Markušovce until 1933, when the manor was sold to Alexander Wieland. That ended somewhere between six and seven centuries of one family in one village — long enough that the village is named after one of them and dozens more are buried in its church.Československá pozemková reforma po roku 1918 rozbila veľké panstvá a obmedzila, koľko pôdy smie jedna rodina držať, čím vzala pôdu spod nôh starej pozemkovej šľachte na celom Slovensku. Máriássyovci sa v Markušovciach udržali do roku 1933, keď kaštieľ kúpil Alexander Wieland. Tým sa skončilo šesť či sedem storočí jednej rodiny v jednej dedine — dosť dlho na to, aby sa dedina volala po jednom z nich a desiatky ďalších ležali pochované v jej kostole.
