Čeněk was born to the prominent Ronov family, though the date of his birth remains unknown. He first appears in the record in 1290 at Oybin.[3] He was later mentioned in documents from the royal court of Prague in 1296 with his brother, Henry of Lipá.[4]
Čeněk built the castle at Sloup v Čechách, which was first mentioned in 1324.[1] He used stones reminiscent of the ones used for building Ojivín Castle .[5] Sloup Castle, known as Perkenstein or Pirkštejn, became his main seat and was integrated into his family name.[6][7]
Čeněk acquired other estates in Moravia by marrying Jitka of Honcovice.[7] The last time he was mentioned is in the will of his nephew Pertold of Lipá , documented in 1346. Pertold bequeathed his uncle the farm and castle of Račice (part of modern day Račice-Pístovice) in Moravia.[1]
