"Baron Jean de Beck (1588 – 30 August 1648) was a soldier and governor of the Duchy of Luxembourg and of the County of Chiny.
He was born "Jean Beck", the son of Paul Beck and his wife Catherine Ronck (or Ronckart), in house no. 5 (demolished in 1958) of the rue de Trèves in the Grund of Luxembourg City.
In 1619 he joined the Austrian-Habsburg army. In 1632 or 1633 he was promoted to Major-General by Albrecht von Wallenstein, and in 1634 was appointed commander of the Prague garrison.
On 25 February 1634 he was ennobled by Ferdinand II for his service in the Austrian army. In the summer of 1635, after leaving Wallenstein, he returned to Luxembourg." - (en.wikipedia.org 28.10.2020)
