Jan van Beaumont was a younger brother of count Willem III van Holland.
He was born as Jan van Henegouwen, heer van Noordwijk, Beaumont, Gouda en Schoonhoven. He was born most likely in 1288 as son Jan II, Graaf van Holland and Philippa of Luxembourg. He died on 11 march, 1356.

When his uncle Jan I, Graaf van Holland died in 1299, he left behind no descendants. As a result, his father inherited the county of Holland and Zeeland as Jan II, Graaf van Holland through his mother Adelaide van Holland. From then on Henegouwen (Hainault) and Holland were in a personal union. John of Hainault bought the heerlijkheid (comparably to the english Barony) of Beaumont, located in the southern Netherlands, for his son.
Count Jan II van Holland died in 1304 and was succeeded by his eldest son Willem III van Holland. On 21 june 1308, Jan received from his brother all the possessions of Gerard van Velsen, Willem van Zanden and Gerard Craaitenhout.This included the heerlijkheid Noordwijk and Beverwijk. On 23 juli 1313 Noordwijk and Beverwijk were raised to hoge heerlijkheid (literally: high barony), which placed them amongst the most important fiefs in Holland. In 1316 John became lord of Tholen. Goes also came into his possession after it was taken from the Borssele family. His most important residences were Beaumont and the castle of Schoonhoven in the southern Netherlands. In 1340 he founded a Carmelite monastery in Schoonhoven.
Jan married Margaret of Soissons, which gave him the title of count of Soissons. They had a daughter, named Jeanne of Hainault, countess of Beaumont.

Jan often replaced his absent brother as governor of Holland. In 1326 he led an expedition to England, through which king Edward II of England was driven out and replaced by king Edward III. In 1340 he was regent of Holland and Zeeland for his nephew, count Willem IV van Holland for a short time. In 1345 he led an expedition to Friesland together with Willem IV. At the battle of Warns Willem IV was killed by the frisians while Jan of Beaumont barely managed to escape. He claimed the right of succession to the three counties, but eventually the succession was awarded to the sister of count William IV. As a result, John left the Netherlands and travelled to france, and he was present at the Battle of Crecy. Here his son-in-law Louis II, Count of Blois was killed. This made his grandson Jan II, Count of Blois heir to the expensive possessions in Holland and Zeeland. Afterwards John resided at the court of Margaret of Burgundy

Jan had a bastard son for whom he bought the heerlijkheid Treslong in Picardie. From this son decended the Bloys of Treslong. ^[7][8]Ships named after Bloys of Treslong: HNLMS Bloys van Treslong, a dutch frigate of the Kortenaer class.
