BARONY of ARUNDEL (I) 1377

JOHN D'ARUNDEL, younger son of Richard (FITZ ALAN) xivth EARL OF ARUNDEL,by his 2nd wife, Eleanor, daughter of Henry, EARL OF LANCASTER, married,shortly bef. 4 Aug 1357, Eleanor, 2nd and youngest daughter of Sir JohnMAUTRAVERS, by Gwenthlian his wife, which Eleanor was found granddaughterand coheir (she eventually was sole heir) of Sir John Mautravers [LordMautravers] on 16 February 1363/4, at which date she was aged 19. Inconsequence, probably, of such marriage, he was summoned to Parliament,from 4 August (1377) 1 Richard II to 20 October (1379) 3 Richard II bywrits directed "Johanni de Arundell," whereby he may be (c) held io havebecome LORD ARUNDEL. He was MARSHAL OF ENGLAND in that same year, 1377,and also 9 April 1378. Being in command of a naval expedition in aid ofthe Duke of Brittany, he defeated the French fleet off the coast ofCornwall, but was later, 15 or 16 December 1379, wrecked and drowned inthe Irish sea (a). He was buried in Lewes Priory. Will dated 26 November1379. His widow (de jure suo jure BARONESS MAUTRAVERS, according tomodern doctrine), married by dispensation from the Archbishop ofCanterbury, dated 9 September 1384 (being within the third degree ofconsanguinity), as 2nd wife, Reynold (COBHAM), 2nd LORD COBHAM (ofSterborough), who died 6 July 1403. She died in January 1404/5. Willdated at Lytchett Matravers, 26 September 1404, desiring to be buried atLewes Priory with "mon tres honorable seigneur John Arundell," proved 16January 1404/5 at Maidstone. [Complete Peerage I:259-60, XIV:39,(transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(c) This Barony of Arundel would probably be held to be the same Baronyas that of Maultravers, and the summons of 1377 to be one jure uxoris,and consequently not one creating any new dignity. The son and heir ofthe Baron (so summoned in 1377), d. before his mother, BaronessMautravers, and (consequently?) was never summoned; the grandson and heirof the Baroness became Earl of Arundel within six years after he came ofage, and is said to have been summoned as Earl the following year.Notwithstanding this, however, his son and heir was summoned in 1429 (notas Earl, but) as a Baron (and that too by the title of Lord Arundel), notLord Mautravers, until his claim to the Earldom of Arundel was allowed(four years later) in 1433.

(a) He appears to have been one of the fops of the period, for he had onboard 52 suits of clothes "pro proprio corpore, novos apparatus velaureos vel aureo textos." V.G.
