- Earl of Arundel.
John Fitzalan died in 1272 and Arundel passed to his five year old
son, Richard. In 1285 King Edward I granted the right to hold two
fairs a year at Arundel and to tax the goods there. This created
additional much needed cash to renovate the castle and buildings,
as many had fallen into disrepair through neglect or lack of
money. In 1289 Richard was created Earl of Arundel by
'Longshanks' and the two became good friends. Richard fought
with the King against the Scots and he is described on the Rolls of
the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300:
was beheaded after
getting caught up in the rebellion against Edward II. He was
caught by Queen Isabella's lover, Mortimer and executed without
trial in Hereford. Arundel passed to the Earl of Kent, 6th son of
Edward I, but he was also beheaded when the Arundel Castle was returned
to the Fitzalans 4 years later.
