The Earldom of Arundel ami the other honours entailed therewith by the Act. of Pari, of 1627, have been, since 1660. merged in the Dukedom of Norfolk : the Duke of Noifolk in 1660 and each of his successors being heir male of the body of Thomas (Howard), xxvith (21st or 14th).

(*) The family of Fitz Alan, alius de Arundel affords a singular instance of the name of the dignity being adopted as the surname. ( ! 'J Tin's Barony of Arundel must probably be held to be the same Barony as that of Maltravers, and the summons of 1371 to be one jure uxoris, and consequently not one creating any new dignity. The s. and h. of the Baron (so sum. in 1377), (/. before his mother, Baroness Maltravers, and (consequently !) was never sum. ; the grandson and h. of the Baroness became Earl of Arundel within six years after he came of age, and is said to have been sum. as an Earl the following year. Notwithstanding tliif, however, his s. anil h. was sum. in 1420 {not as an Eaul, but) as a Baron (and that too by the title of Lord AliUNDEL, not Lord Maltravers), until his claim to the Earldom of Arundel was idlowed (four years later) in 1433. If the Barony of Arundel he held to be a separate one from that of Maltravers, it is now (188.1) in abeyance between the Lords Mowbray and Petre, the coheirs general of the Baron sum. in 1377. If however it is the same Barony as that of Maltravers it passes (as such) under the Act of Pali, of 1627 to the Duke of Norfolk. See a good account of this branch of the family If Sir C. G.
