was the Earl of Surry, University of Hull, Tompsett.
He was the third Earl of Arundel and Warenne; Ninth Earl of Surrey.
On December 4,1344 he obtained a Papal mandate for the annulment of his marriage to Isabel
on the ground of his minority (about 8 at the time of the marriage)
and that he had never consented to the marriage.
TheComplete Peerage discusses this and states
'...Obviously what really happened was this. The powerful Earl
desired to get rid of the woman to whom he had been married as a
child, and who, since her father's attainder and execution, had ceased
to be of any importance, that he might marry the woman with whom he
was then living in adultery; and the Pope very obligingly annulled the
marriage and bastardised the issue.'
