Edmund FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel

Edmund FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel (1285–1326), succeeded his father Richard in 1302 as a ward of the Earl of Surrey, whose granddaughter Alice he married. Knighted by Edward I in 1306, he fought in the Scottish wars.

In 1311 he joined the Lords Ordainers against Edward II and, with Thomas of Lancaster, helped bring about Piers Gaveston's death in 1312. Later reconciled with the king, he supported the suppression of Mortimer's and Lancaster's rebellions.

Captured during Isabella and Roger Mortimer's invasion, he was beheaded at Hereford in November 1326. His title and lands were forfeited, but his son Richard recovered them in 1331.
