במשחקי קלפים, מדוע קוראים

במשחקי קלפים, מדוע קוראים לנסיך "ג'ק" (Jack) ומהיכן הגיע השם "אס" (Ace)?
יש לי השערות לא מבוססות (תשובה 1: Jack of all Trades - בעל מקצוע הנחות במעמדו מהמלכה) ותשובה 2: ace הוא צד בקובית משחק עם נקודה אחת).
הייתי שמח אם מישהו היה יכול לאשר את ההנחות שלי או להפריך אותן.

מתוך ויקיפידה:
"In early games the kings were always the highest card in their suit. However, as early as the late 1400s special significance began to be placed on the nominally lowest card, now called the Ace, so that it sometimes became the highest card. This concept may have been hastened in the late 1700s by the French Revolution, where games began being played "ace high" as a symbol of lower classes raising in power above the royalty. The term "Ace" itself comes from a dicing term in Anglo-Normal French, which is itself derived from the Latin as (the smallest unit of coinage). Another dicing term, trey (3), sometimes shows up in playing card games.

Corner and edge indices appeared in the mid-1800s, which enabled people to hold their cards close together in a fan with one hand (instead of the two hands previously used). Before this time, the lowest court card in English cards was officially termed the Knave, but its abbreviation ("Kn") was too similar to the King ("K"). However, from the 1600s on the Knave had often been termed the Jack, a term borrowed from the game All Fours where the Knave of trumps is termed the Jack. All Fours was considered a low-class game, so the use of the term Jack at one time was considered vulgar. The use of indices changed the formal name of the lowest court card to Jack."
