• Notes

  Edmund held the castle of Arundel, after the execution and forfeiture of the 7th Earl, from 1327 until his own execution in 1330, but does not himself appear to have been styled Earl of Arundel. Edmund was beheaded for conspiring to rescue King Edward II from prison. He had to wait five hours for an executioner, because nobody wanted to do it.
