John Fitzalan of Arundel was an English nobleman. He was called John Arundel (the family had ceased using the surname Fitzalan a century before his birth).

Born in 1458, John was the forth son of William Fitzalan, 9th Earl of Arundel.^[1] and Joan Neville.

In 1486, John Arundel is present with Edward Woodville in Henry Tudor 's entourage^[2] as he planned to become King, during his exile in Brittany.

At the battle of Stoke in 1487, John Arundel was knighted on the field, after the battle.^[3]

In 1488, against the advice of King Henry Tudor, Sir John Arundel, mounted an expedition with Sir Edward Woodville on the Isle of Wight, to help the Bretons against the French. They wanted to sail to Saint-Malo in Brittany. Edward Woodville manages to embark for Saint-Malo. But John Arundel was intercepted by royal agents while still on Wight and arrested with his ship and all men of his company, for ignoring the King's order not to fight.^[4]

Notes

Edward had marched his men down from Saint-Malo to join the Breton and allied forces giving battle in July at Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier against much a larger French force and was killed^[5]
