Other records report death as 24 Jan. 1375/76/ At the coronation of King Richard II, Richard FitzAlan carried the crown. In the same years, 1377, he was made Admiral of the South and West. The following year, 1378, he attacked Harfleur, but was repelled by the French defenders. Fitzalan allied himself with the King's uncle Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, who was married to Fitzalan's niece Eleanor de Bohun, who was also the niece of Elizabeth. Thw two men eventually became members of the Coucil of Regency, and thus would form a strong and virulent opposition to the King. This would later prove fatal to both men.

She was born about 1313 (aged 8 in 1321). Following their marriage, his father settled the manors of Keevil, Wiltshire and Wing and Blakewell, Buckinghamshire on them and their issue. They had one son, Edmund, Kilt. In 1330-1 he was fully restored in blood and honours and, in Dec. 1331, he obtained restitution of the Castle and honour of Arundel, thereby becoming Earl of Arundel. In 1337 he claimed the Stewardship of Scotland, by grant from Edward de Balio!' His marriage to Isabelle Despenser was annulled 4 Dec. 1344, and their issue bastardized. She was living in 1351-2.

He took a distinguished part in the wars with France, and commanded the 2nd division at the Battle of Crecy, and was at the fall of Calais in 1347. He was heir in 1347 to his uncle, John de Warenne, Knt., 8th Earl of Surrey, by which he inherited vast estates in Sussex, Surrey, Norfolk, and other counties. In 1351 he agreed with Edward the Black Prince to exchange the justiciarship of North Wales, and annual fee of 500 marks, for £200 a year from the City of Chester and Dee mills for life. In 1355 he and Eleanor received a papal indult to celebrate mass before daybreak.
