His paternal grandparents were Edmund Fitzalan IX Earl of Arundel and Alice De Warenne; his maternal grandparents were Henry III Earl of Lancaster & Leicester and Maud De Chaworth. He had a brother and two sisters, named Richard Fitz Alan XI Earl of, Joan and Alice. He was the second oldest of the four children. He had two half-brothers and four half-sisters, named Edmund, Henry De Beaumont III Lord, Mary Fitz, Alice, Aline and Maud. He died at the age of 47 on December 16th, 1379 in Drowned at sea Irish coast. He was buried in Lewes Priory.General Notes
John was summoned to Parilament 1377/1379 by writs directed to Johanni de Arundel. He was Marshall of England in 1377/8. Being in command of a naval expedition in aid of the Duke of Britany, he defeated the French off the coast of Cornwall, but was later, December 15 or 16, 1379, wrecked and drowned in the Irish Sea. 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.
