All I know is that the story and the beginning came from France. Hence the name, "Belle" or "Gaston" (if I spelled it right.) which are both french names. Just a little personal note, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite one of my two favorite Disney classics, Belle is my favorite princess. (Of course, my other favorite is the Lion King. :)
If you mean Beast Lord, the I think you are thinking of the Witch King of Angmar. He was the one that stabbed Frodo and was riding the Fell Beast that Eowyn decapitated.
