| Notes |
- 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.

Richard Fitzalan, 8th Earl of Arundel (1267-1302) was an English nobleman. He was feudal Lord of Clun and Oswestry. After attaining his majority in 1289 became in fact Earl of Arundel, by being summoned to Parliament by a writ directed to the Earl of Arundel. He fought in the Welsh wars, 1288; in Gascony 1295-97; and in the Scottish wars, 1298-1300.
He married Alisia de Saluzzo (also known as Alice), daughter of Thomas I, marquis of Saluzzo in Italy. They had sons: Thomas Fitzalan and Edmund Fitzalan, 9th Earl of Arundel.
