The word "Markess" is a bit of a challenge to spell. It actually refers to a female version of the title "Marquis." To spell it, we start with the root word "Marquis" (mɑːkiː), which is spelled with two R's in the middle. To make it female, we add the suffix "-ess" (ɛs) which indicates femininity. Together, this gives us "Markess" (mɑːkɛs). It may be a difficult spelling, but it's an important distinction between a male and female title.
