Some genealogies list the FitzAlans as Earls of Arundel with no sequence number. Others list them as Earls in number sequence. By the latter, John FitzAlan, born 1248, would be the 7th Earl of Arundel, and his son Edmund the 8th Earl.

However, the Encyclopaedia Britannica has the 3rd Earl of Arundel as the later Richard FitzAlan, born about 1330. They number out from there. There is no information on the 1st and 2nd Earl. Perhaps the earlier Arundels (FitzAlans) were called Barons and some genealogies have referred to them as Earls.
