The son of Čeněk of Oybin, Jan Ješek inherited the castles at Sloup v Čechách and Polná.[5] He later acquired the town of Rataje nad Sázavou and its two castles, renaming the lower castle Pirkštejn.[6] It was around this time where Jan Ješek started using the name Ptáček, or "Birdie", which was continually used in his lineage.[5]
Jan Ješek was around 50 years old when his son, Jan Ptáček of Pirkštejn, was born.[7] Soon after, he returned to Polná and retired from political life.[5] He died around the end of the 14th century.[6]
Jan is mentioned in the video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance as Sir Jeschke, the father of Hans Capon.[8]
