Parent Parent Parent Parent Parent Biological Child Parent Biological Child Parent (a child) (a child) 1385 John FitzAlan John FitzAlan, 13th Earl of Arundel (1385–1421) was an English nobleman.

He was the son of John FitzAlan, 2nd Baron Arundel, and Elizabeth le Despenser, and became Baron Arundel on his father's death in 1390 and Baron Maltravers on his grandmother's death in 1405. In 1415 his cousin Thomas FitzAlan, 12th Earl of Arundel died, leaving FitzAlan as his closest male heir. The Earldom of Arundel had been entailed to heirs male, and so the next year FitzAlan was summoned to parliament as Earl of Arundel.

However the inheritance was challenged by Thomas Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk, who was married to the late Earl's eldest sister. The dispute was not settled during their lifetimes, and John was subsequently summoned to Parliament as Baron Maltravers, not Earl of Arundel.

He married Eleanor Berkeley, and was succeeded by his son John FitzAlan, 14th Earl of Arundel, who eventually made good the claim to the earldom.

His elder brother John FitzAlan, 14th Earl of Arundel died on June 12, 1435. The title passed to his nephew Humphrey FitzAlan, 15th Earl of Arundel who was still a six-year-old with no descendants. William thus became his heir presumptive. He succeeded him on 24 April 1438.

William fought in the Second Battle of St Albans (22 February 1461) as a supporter of the House of York. The Yorkists were commanded by his brother-in-law Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick. They succeeded in capturing Henry VI of England.
Edward IV of England named him a Knight of the Garter in 1471, probably in honor of his support during the Wars of the Roses.
