=== Life Sketch ===
John Fitzalan, 1st Baron Arundel (c. 1348 – 16 December 1379), also known as Sir John Arundel, was an English soldier.
He was born in Etchingham, Sussex, England to Richard Fitzalan, 3rd Earl of Arundel (c. 1313–1376), and his second wife Eleanor of Lancaster (1318–1372), daughter of Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster, and widow of John, 2nd Baron Beaumont. His brother was Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of Canterbury. His sister was Joan Fitzalan, Countess of Hereford.
John was appointed Lord Marshal of England by Richard II of England in 1377, and summoned to the House of Lords on 4 August 1377, by writ directed to 'Johanni de Arundell' at which time he was made 1st Baron Arundel. He served as Lord Marshal until 1379.
On 26 July 1379 he was given licence to crenellate (i.e., he was free to fortify) a stone castle on the site of an 11th-century earthwork fortress in Surrey. Over the years since then the structure was rebuilt and remodeled. It is now a ruin, and its remains are known as Betchworth Castle.
In 1373 John IV the Duke of Brittany was forced by the French king Charles V to leave Brittany and seek refuge in England. The duke was invited back to Brittany in 1379 by the Breton barons who didn't like Charles V high-handedness. "An English army under Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester, landed at Calais and marched towards Nantes to take control of the city. However, John IV subsequently reconciled with the new French king, Charles VI of France [V having died], and paid off the English troops to avoid a confrontation."
FitzAlan was part of the force sent to aid the duke. But did not succeed in reaching Brittany and "met a terrible fate at sea." (Thomas Walsingham 'Chronica Maiora' pp 97-105. Thomas Walsingham reports that during the panic of the storm, Sir John murdered those of his men who refused to make for shore for fear of being shipwrecked upon the rocks. Subsequently, after safely arriving on an island off the Irish coast, Sir John and his boat captain were swept back into the sea and drowned [Ibid.].
He was buried in Lewes, Sussex.
Marriage and children
On 17 February 1358, FitzAlan married Eleanor Maltravers (Mautravers) (1345 – 10 January 1404/1406), daughter of John Maltravers and Gwenthin.
They had at least five children (some references list more):
1. Joan FitzAlan (D' Arundel) (c. 1360 – 1 September 1404. She married first William de Brien (one son) and secondly Sir William de Echingham.
2. John FitzAlan, 2nd Baron Arundel (3 November 1364 – 14 August 1390), who married Elizabeth le Despenser.
3. Richard FitzAlan (c. 1366 – 3 June 1419). His daughter Joan married Thomas Willoughby of Parham, a grandson of Alayne FitzAlan, daughter of Edmund Fitzalan, 8th (or 9th) Earl of Arundel.
4. Sir William Arundel (c. 1369 – 1400). He was a Knight of the Garter.
5. Margaret (1372-7 July 1439) married William Ros, 6th Baron Ros of Hamlake and had descendants
He wrote his will on 26 November 1379 in which he left bequests to his wife, each of his sons & daughters, his sister Countess of Hereford, brother Earl of Arundel. He made Sir Robert Rouse and and unknown Maltravers his executors.
"This family presents a singular instance of adopting the name of their title as the surname of the family, for after the marriage of John Fitz-Alan, Lord, with Isabel, the sister and coheir of Hugh d'Albini, Earl, all the descendants called themselves Arundel instead of Fitz-Alan."

John was summoned to Parilament 1377/1379 by writs directed to Johanni de Arundel. He was Marshall of England in 1377/8.

He appears to have been one of the fops of the period for he had on board ship 52 suits of clothes. He was buried in the Lewes Priory. His widow, who married 2nd Reynolds, Lord Cobham, died January 10, 1404/5, and requested to be buried at Lewes Priory with "mon tres nonorable seigeur, John Arundel." The brilliant career of the Earl and his great victories over the French, together with the catastrophe in which he lost his life, would fill worthily a volume, he was undoubtedly one of England's greatest generals.

To him, by writ dated 27 November 1243, was awarded [in right of his deceased mother] the Castle and Honour of Arundel, whereby [according to the admission of 1443] he must be regarded as de jure Earl of Arundel.

In an award dated Friday after the Circumcision 1258, he is expressly called Dominus de Arundel [i.e. Lord of the Honour of Arundel], and in the Fine Roll, 10 March 1261/2, he is called Baro noster, while in his IPM he is described [merely] as Johannes filius Alani, and the endorsement says that he held a quarter of the Earldom of Arundel.

Note: SIR JOHN DE ARUNDEL, KNT.
John de Arundel, Knt.[2] November 26th, 1379. My body to be buried in the Priory at Lewes, in the great Church there, under an arch near the Funeral Chapel. To Eleanor, my wife; to Joane, my daughter, M [1000] marks; to each of my sons and daughters ; to my brother, the Earl of Arundel [Richard d. 1397]; to the Countess of Hereford, my sister [Joan]. And
I appoint Sir Robert Rouse, and Sir Maltravers, my executors.
Footnote 2
From his describing the Earl of Arundel as his brother, and the Countess of Hereford as his sister, it is evident that he was a younger son of Edmond Fitz-Alan, fourth Earl of Arundel, though Dugdale takes no notice of him. This family presents a singular instance of adopting the name of their title as the surname of the family, for after the marriage of John Fitz-Alan, Lord of Clun, with Isabel, the sister and coheir of Hugh D'Albini, Earl of Arundel, all the descendants called themselves Arundel instead of Fitz-Alan.
