Jean de Croÿ, Count of Solre

Jean de Croÿ (14 November 1588—1640), count of Solre, baron of Molembaix and marquess of Renty, knight of the Golden Fleece, was a nobleman from the Low Countries who held high office under the Spanish Habsburgs.

Life

Jean was born in 1588, the son of Philippe de Croÿ-Solre and Anne de Beaufort. After his mother's death, his father married Anne de Croÿ, widow of Emanuel Philibert de Lalaing.[1] In 1608 Jean married his step-sister Jeanne de Lalaing, Anne de Croÿ's daughter from her first marriage. In 1614 he became a knight of the Golden Fleece, and in 1616 chamberlain to Archduke Albert.[1]

In the years 1619—1636 he undertook diplomatic missions in Poland, Germany and France on behalf of Philip IV of Spain, and in 1622—23 was acting high bailiff and captain-general of the County of Hainaut.[1] In 1624 he was appointed captain of the royal guard in Spain, and a member of the Spanish council of state. In September 1627 he became a councillor on the Supreme Council of Flanders in Madrid. He died in Madrid in 1640.[1]

gollark: Yes, it's that.
gollark: The problem is that the pastebin program in 1.7.10 isn't compatible with pastebin.com any more.
gollark: Because they are demons from the pits of heck.
gollark: I tried:- looking at the "network" section in browser debug tools - nothing for the websocket appears- running it through mitmproxy - no request appears for the websocket thingy- capturing it with wireshark with TLS decryption on - inconclusive, I can't really figure out how to work that properly
gollark: Anyone know why all my websocket stuff goes "can't establish a connection to the server wss://whatever" in firefox? Specifically websocket stuff on my server, other things appear to work fine. It works in chromium or wscat, and the individual applications work fine in firefox if they're not behind my reverse proxy.
