Need help understanding name, place of birth

Classification: Query
Surnames: de Cock; de Cock van Beusekom, van Wachtendonck, von Wachtendonk, von Taxis
One of my husband's ancestor's name is shown as Aleyt de Cock van Beusekom. However, she was said to have been of Amersfoort. Aleyt married Rombaut van Wachtendonck, who was said to have been from Ossendrent (probably Ossendrecht). I know of one daughter, Christina von Wachtendonk, zu Hemessem, who was born between 1483 - 1487, in Herzogtum Geldern; and died on 05 Jan 1561, in (Mechelen) Malines, Belgium. Christina married Johann Baptista von Taxis, on 06 Feb 1514, at Notre Dame du Sablon, Brussels, Belgium. I am confused about the surname. Was Aleyt's surname de Cock, or was it de Cock van Beusekom? If she was from Amersfoort, what would account for the van Beusekom in her surname? Any help with the names, etc. of Aleyt's parents would also be appreciated. Many thanks.
