Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel 
Richard, known as Copped Hat, was born about 1313 in Arundel, Sussex, England. Copped Hat's father was Sir Edmund FitzAlan, 9th Earl of Arundel and his mother was Alice de Warenne. His paternal grandparents were Richard FitzAlan, 8th Earl of Arundel and Alasia (Alice) de Saluzzo; his maternal grandparents were William de Warenne and Joan de Vere. He was an only child. He died on January 24th, 1376.General Notes
Richard FitzAlan held the office of Justiciar of North Wales in 1334. He held the office of Governor of Carnarvon Castle in 1339. He held the office of Admiral of the West from 1340 to 1341.
His marriage to Isabel le Despenser was annulled on 4 December 1344 by Papal mandate, supposedly on the grounds that they were married during their minority, and without their consent.
The reality is that the Earl probably wished to be rid of his wife, who had no value to him after her father's attainder and exectution.
He held the office of Sheriff of Shropshire in 1345. He held the office of Admiral of the West between 1345 and 1347.
He fought in the Battle of Crécy on 26 August 1346, where he commanded the 2nd division. He fought in the fall of Calais in 1347.
He succeeded to the title of 10th Earl of Arundel in 1347. On 30 June 1347 he succeeded to the vast estates of the family of Warenne. He succeeded to the title of Earl of Surrey on 12 April 1361.
