===Military and Career===:John was summoned to Parliament as Johanni de Arundell by writ dated 4 August 1377 to 20 October 1379, during which time he became Lord Arundel. He was Marshal of England in 1377, when he was about age thirty, and also 9 April 1378. In 1377, he was granted £100 per annum and retained by the king for life; the grant being doubled in 1379.Barber, Richard. "Arundel [Fitzalan], Sir John (c. 1348–1379), soldier" in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''. September 28, 2006. Oxford University Press, accessed 25 Nov 2019 w/subscription at [https://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-718 OxfordDNB.com].
:In 1377, he stopped a French attack on Southampton, before they were able to lay siege to the town, and drove the enemy back to their ships. Later that year, he commanded a naval expedition to assist the Duke of Brittany and defeated the French fleet off the coast of Cornwall. In 1378, he defended Cherbourg, Normandy and commanded another expedition to Brittany to aid John de Montfort.
:In the fall of 1379, while his expedition was awaiting calmer winds before setting sail to Brittany, they sheltered in a local convent. It appears that John de Arundel let his sailors run amok while they were staying onshore as a commission was issued to John and the other commanders on 26 October 1379 to ask about the crimes committed on the expedition, including the rape of nuns and thefts from the church. When the fleet finally set sail, against the advice of the shipmaster, they were overtaken by a storm. The sailors tried to lighten the ships load by throwing looted items (and 60 women!) overboard, but the ship wrecked on some rocks. John was caught in quicksand and drowned.

===Death and Burial===:Sir John de Arundel, 1st Lord Arundel, died testate on 15 December 1379 in the Irish Sea and was buried at Lewes Priory, Sussex.Richardson, Douglas. ''Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families'', 4 vols., ed. Kimball G. Everingham. 2nd edition. (Salt Lake City, UT: the author, 2011), vol. I, page 30, ARUNDEL 8. His will was dated 26 November 1379.
:Eleanor married second on 9 August 1380, as his second wife, Sir Reynold Cobham, 2nd Lord Cobham of Sterborough, and together they had one son. The couple divorced in 1384 due to consanguinity but were allowed to remarry with dispensation. The dispensation was issued 9 September 1384. Eleanor died testate on 12 January 1404/5 and was buried with her first husband. Her will was written at Lytchett Matravers on 26 September 1404 and proved 16 January 1404/5 at Maidstone.
