[edit] History
The Markwartingers—also known as the Marquards—were a prominent Bohemian family who governed during the time of the Přemyslids. They included the following noble families: Lämberg (Lemberk), Michalowitz, Waldstein, Velesin, and Wartenberg.
Havel founded the towns of Gabel (Deutsch Gabel) and Habelschwerdt, as well as a convent at Böhmisch Aicha. Havel, along with a relative named Jaroslav, was also instrumental in founding the town of Turnov in 1272.
