From the 1400s Bjørnholm belonged to the Hvide-family , and 1331 Stig Andersen (the Young) was the owner. Only few Danish magnates have been such a center of contention as this family. No information tells us if Marsk Stig owned Bjørnholm, but his son Anders Stigsen Hvide of Tygestrup (now Kongsdal) was the owner of the manor, and after his death his son Stig Andersen Hvide (the Young) inherited Bjørnholm and Tygestrup. He was namecalled after his grandfather, the famous Marsk Stig, who according to tradition was king Erik Klipping's killer.
When Christoffer II in 1320 ascended the throne, Marsk Stig's family was able to return to their native country, and the head of the family, Stig Andersen took again possession of a big part of the family's properties. During the following years he built Bjørnholm at Djursland, maybe at the same place where the present Høgholm is situated - but in the garden by Ordrupgård in the neighbouring parish is a motte, a circular castle bank, 6 m tall and with a diameter of 20 m, surrounded by a moat, which again is surrounded by a circular dam. The very first Bjørnholm might have existed here. (Obdrupgård is also on the map)
Stig Andersen lead the opposition of the Jute nobility against the royal power from Bjørnholm . In 1331 he was grev Gert of Holstein's marsk and belonged like Niels Bugge of Hald to the leaders inside the Jute nobility. After grev Gert was killed, he joined Valdemar Atterdag's party and was for a period statholder (=viceregent) in Estonia. But when king Valdemar in 1350 started his large reduction of the Danish nobility's properties, which during the troubled years slipped out of the Crown's hands, the friendship was over between the two men.
Valdemar Atterdag took some estate from Stig Andersen, which he had achieved, while grev Gert was in power, and even though ridder Stig Andersen is not supposed to have participated in the big rebellion against the king in 1357, he broke with him jn 1359 , after his son and brother were murdered together with Niels Bugge in Middelfart January 1359. These murders were possibly requested by the king.
In 1360 Stig Andersen still fought against the royal power. In 1362 he decided that Bjørnholm after his death should be inherited by his murdered brother's sons, Jens and Anders Ovesen Hvide. Jens Ovesen made a very good match, since he was married to Elisabeth, a daughter of drost Claus Limbek; they were assigned half the manor after Stig Andersen's death in 1369.
The other half was assigned to Anders Ovesen (+1420), and when his son Ove Andersen died unmarried, his mother Else Holgersdatter Krognos brought her part of Bjørnholm to her second husband, rigshofmester Otte Nielsen Rosenkrantz. About 1468 he bought the rest of Bjørnholm from Mogens Ebbesen Galt and Holger Munk, who had achieved this part from their mother-in-law, Inger Andersdatter Hvide.
