Notes:
Edmund was executed at Hereford,
England by partisans of Queen Isabella--beheaded on November 17, 1326. Was one
of the ordainers appointed in 1310. He became connected with the Despencers and
sided with King Edward II in about 1321.
He was the Eighth Earl of
Arundel. For some time he opposed King Edward II, but in 1321 he changed sides
and was one of the few nobleswho supported him. In 1323 he was Chief Justiciar
of North and SouthWales; and in 1325 was Warden of the Welsh Marches. He was
capturedby the Queen's party (with Roger Mortimer to whom she was a
mistress)and, without trial, was beheaded at Hereford November 17, 1326
(Complete Peerage, I:242).
On November 9, 1306 he was summoned to
parliament as Earl of Arundel, and took part in the Scottish wars of that year.
On February 25, 1307 or 1308 he officiated as "Pincerna" at the coronation of
Edward II. For along time he was in opposition to the King, and was violent
against Piers Gaveston, who had beaten him in a tournament. However, in 1231 he
changed sides and thereafter was one of the few nobles who adhered to the King.
Having been captured in Shopshire by the Queen's party, Edmund was, without
trial, beheaded on November 17, 1326, at Hereford, in his forty-second year.
This lady, upon the decease of her brother, who died without issue, inherited
the great estates of the Warrens, and conveyed them to the Fitz Alans, through
her son, Richard. [91502.ftw]
