Notes - Sir Edmund Arundel, knt (c. 1327 – 1376– 1382), the only child of the marriage between Richard FitzAlan and Isabel le Despenser, was bastardized by the annulment of his parents' marriage. He thereafter was known by the name of Arundel.
He married at the age of twenty, in the summer of 1347, Sybil Montacute or Montague, a younger daughter of William Montacute, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Catherine Grandison, whose elder sister Elizabeth was married to his mother's brother.
Because he has been declared illegitimate after the annulment of his parents' marriage, after his father died the estates that should have gone to Edmund went to his younger half-brother Richard, then about 29. "Sometime before the end of 1376, Edmund and at least fourteen of his supporters attacked the six manors of Essex which his father had granted to his late mother Isabella for her sustenance in 1344/4 after the annulment of their marriage . . . They broke into houses, fished in Earl Richard's fishery, stole £100, and assaulted and imprisoned Richard's servants." When the incidents came to the attention of the authorities, Edmund with his cousin Henry Despenser as his lawyer appeared before the king and "agreed to settle the 'quarrel, dissensions, strife and controversy' between them. Edmund appeared again before the king and his council on 16 February 1377 and was imprisoned in the Tower of London, though was released on 5 June that year. . . ."
"Little is known of Edmund Arundel after late 1377. In July 1379, he and his son-in-law Sir Richard Sergeaux of Cornwall borrowed £500 from Matthew Gurney . . . By 1390, Sergeaux had still not paid Gurney Back.
"Edmund Arundel was still active in February 1381, now in his mid-fifties, and appointed attorneys to act for him when he went to Gascony on a military expedition. He was dead by February 1382, when his two surviving daughters, Elizabeth Meriet (formerly Carew) and Philippa Sergeaux, and Robert Deincourt, his grandson from his other daughter Katherine, were involved in a legal case."
