Biography
Duc d'Arenberg, Baron de Barbançon, Comte d'Arenberg and founder of the House of Arenberg and stadtholder of the Dutch provinces of Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe and Overijssel from 1549 until his death.
Jean de Ligne belonged to the closest circles around Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Archduke of Austria; King of Spain, lord of the Netherlands and titular Duke of Burgundy, and was made a Knight in the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1546.
The father of seven children, the Duke was buried in the Saint Catherine Church in Zevenbergen, but his remains were moved in 1614 to the family vault in Enghien, Belgium.
