Research Notes:
sometimes shown to have married Joan de STAFFORD (e.g. Weis AR7 #32, vonRedlich p120-128) but that is definitely wrong [Ref: Jacobus BRUEN p23]

Josiah C. Wedgewood in HCS Volume: 1917-8 Parliamentary History Volume:1 says-
"Sir Nicholas de Beek of Tean, MP Staffs 1363, 1365 - Born c. 1320; son and heir of Robert de Beek of the same (dead)in 1347). He married Jane, daughter of Ralph Earl of Stafford who was the mother of his heiress (Harl MSS 6128. folio 59; and Gonville and Caius MSS No: 573 folio 107 ex. inf. Rev. Charles Swynnerton).
In 1347 Tean was settled on him and his wife Jane (SC XV 114), his mother Mary still having Hopton in dower for life while he had only the reversion. He was knighted by 1348 being then in the household of Lord Stafford; doubtless for that reason he was put on the Commission of the Peace in 1351. He was a Commissioner occasionally 1354-61; and Sheriff of Staffordshire and Salop from 27 November 1368 to July 1369, when he must have died, as he was succeeded by the Under-Sheriff till November.
His only surviving daughter and heiress Elizabeth married Sir Robert de Swynnerton of Swynnerton and was the mother of the famous Maud Swynnerton (SC XV 114) who was abducted by Sir John de Ipstones. [Ref: Peter Sutton SGM 11/27/2005-094948]

if Sir Nicholas really did marry a daughter of Ralph Stafford and Katherine de Hastang then there would be the following relationship between Sir Robert de Swynnerton and Elizabeth Bek:
Sir Robert de Hastang = Isabella
1st degree, siblings Sir Roger de Swynnerton = Joan de Hastang Sir John de Hastang = Eva
2nd degree, cousins Sir Roger de Swynnerton = Maud Haughton Katherine de Hastang = Ralph de Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford
3rd degree, 2nd cousins Sir Thomas de Swynnerton = Maud de Holand Jane or Joan de Stafford = Sir Nicholas Bek
4th degree, 3rd cousins Sir Robert de Swynnerton = Elizabeth Bek
As they would be related in the 4th degree they would have required a Papal dispensation to marry. [Ref: Peter Sutton SGM 11/27/2005-094948]

disp dated c1364, they being related in the 4th degree of kindred [Ref: Douglas Richardson SGM 1/29/2021-145905, Richardson RoyalAnc v4p555]

"Calendar of entries in the Papal Registers relating to Great Britain & Ireland - Papal Letters Vol: VI AD 1404-1415 - PRO 1904
Lateran Regestra Vol: CXXIII 1405
12 Kal. Aug. St Peter's Rome (f.214)
Confirmation, at the recent petition of Maud, wife of John Savage, esquire (armigeri), of the diocese of Lichfield - containing that her parents [the late] Robert de Swynorton, knight, and the late Elizabeth his wife, upon learning that they had contracted marriage in ignorance that they were related in the fourth degree of kindred, obtained from the late John do Cabrespino, canon of Narbonne, then nuncio in England who asserted that he had faculty, for the purpose from Urban V, dispensation to remain in their marriage, with declaration of the legitimacy of future offspring; and adding that her said parents thereafter died, that she was born after the said dispensation and that the registers of the, said pope which should contain the said faculty are not in the Roman court - of the said dispensation, with declaration that the said marriage and Maud herself were legitimate. Exemplification is given of the letters of dispensation of John do Cabrespino, doctor of canon law, canon of Narbonne, papal nuncio in England, addressed to Robert de Swynarton (sic) and Elizabeth, daughter of Nicholas de Bek, of the diocese of Lichfield, which themselves contain exemplification of Urban V's faculty Personam tuam, dated at Avignon, 8 Id. July anno 1 [1363], to dispense twenty-five men and as many women of his nunciature to remain in marriages contracted in ignorance of their bqing related in the fourth degree of kindred or affinity, declaring past and future offspring legitimate [see Cal. Lett. IV pp. 87]

The nuncio's letters, dated in his lodging at London in the year of the Nativity, 1364, indiction 2, according to the computation of the Roman court, 25 Jan., anno 2 Urban V, are sealed with his seal, witnessed by Berengarius Ferrarii, canon, [and] Peter Meyssenerii of the diocese of Seboricen (i.e. perhaps Segorve, Segobricen, in Spain) and Geneva (Geneben), and drawn up, attested written, published and sealed in form of a public instrument by Raymond de Campo Albaldo, clerk, of the dioces of Mende, public notary by papal authority Ad fut. rei mem. Justis et honestis."
Although this does not prove beyond all doubt that Sir Nicholas Bek married Joan or Jane Stafford I now believe that this was the case. [Ref: Peter Sutton SGM 11/27/2005-094948]
