Alice de Warenne, Countess of Arundel (15 June 1287 – 23 May 1338) was an English 
noblewoman and heir apparent to the Earldom of Surrey. In 1305, she married Edmund 
FitzAlan, 9th Earl of Arundel.
Family[edit]

Alice, the only daughter of William de Warenne (1256-1286) and Joan de Vere, 
daughter of Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford, was born on 15 June 1287 in Warren, 
Sussex, six months after her father was accidentally killed in a tournament on 15 
December 1286. On the death of her paternal grandfather, John de Warenne, 6th Earl 
of Surrey in 1304, her only sibling John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey succeeded to 
the earldom. He became estranged from his childless wife and they never reconciled, 
leaving Alice as the heir presumptive to the Surrey estates and title.

Marriage to the Earl of Arundel[edit]

In 1305, Alice married Edmund Fitzalan, 9th Earl of Arundel,[1] the son of Richard 
Fitzalan, 8th Earl of Arundel and Alice of Saluzzo.[2] He had initially refused her, for 
reasons which were not recorded;[citation needed] however, by 1305, he had 
changed his mind and they were wed.[1] They had nine recorded children,[citation 
needed] and their chief residence was Arundel Castle in Sussex. Arundel inherited his 
title on 9 March 1302 upon his father's death.[2] He was summoned to Parliament as 
Lord Arundel in 1306, and was later one of the Lords Ordainers. He also took part in 
the Scottish wars.

The Earl of Arundel and his brother-in-law John de Warenne were the only nobles who 
remained loyal to King Edward II, after Queen Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, 
1st Earl of March returned to England in 1326. He had allied himself to the King's 
favourite Hugh le Despenser, and agreed to the marriage of his son to Despenser's 
granddaughter. Arundel had previously been granted many of the traitor Mortimer's 
forfeited estates, and was appointed Justice of Wales in 1322 and Warden of the 
Welsh Marches in 1325. He was also made Constable of Montgomery Castle which 
became his principal base.

The Earl of Arundel was captured in Shropshire by the Queen's party.[3] On 17 
November 1326 in Hereford, Arundel was beheaded by order of the Queen, leaving 
Alice de Warenne a widow. Her husband's estates and titles were forfeited to the 
Crown following Arundel's execution, but later restored to her eldest son, Richard.
[citation needed]

Alice died before 23 May 1338,[1] aged 50. Her brother died in 1347 without legitimate 
issue, thus the title of Surrey eventually passed to Alice's son, Richard.

Sussex – 24 January 1376), also succeeded to the title of Earl of Surrey on 12 April
