Richard was imprisoned in the Tower of London for a week and was released on £40,000 bail.

:5 August 1397: At Nottingham Castle, Richard, Gloucester and Warwick were charged with treason, accused of raising a rebellion against the king in 1387, usurping the royal authority with their commission of 1386, and putting to death various supporters of the king without good cause in 1388.
:21 September 1397: He stood trial at Westminster and was convicted of treason, sentenced to be drawn, hanged, beheaded and quartered. Because of his noble birth, the king commuted his sentence to beheading only and he was immediately taken to Tower Hill via Cheapside. There, he was beheaded.
=== Marriages and Children ===: Richard married first [[Bohun-15|Elizabeth de Bohun]], daughter of William de Bohun, K.G., Earl of Northampton, by Elizabeth de Badlesmere, by license dated 17 October 1359 (papal dispensation dated 9 September 1359). They had three sons and five daughters:*[[FitzAlan-670|Richard]], predeceased his father, but was still living in 1393 *[[FitzAlan-669|William]], clerk, born about/after 1380/1, died before 4 March 1392/3*[[FitzAlan-671|Thomas]], K.G., K.B., Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Chief Butler of England, etc., born 13 October 1381, died in October 1415, married Beatrice (or Beatriz) of Portugal*[[FitzAlan-687|Eleanor]], married Robert de Ufford and had no issue. ODNB says she married Robert de la Pole and both of them died by 1376.*[[FitzAlan-633|Elizabeth]], married first William de Montagu, Knt., Lord Montagu; second Thomas Mowbray, K.G., 1st Duke of Norfolk; third Robert Goushill (or Gousehill, Goushall); and fourth Gerard Usflete, Knt.; Elizabeth was born about 1371 and died 8 July 1425.*[[FitzAlan-626|Alice]], mistress to Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Lincoln before marrying John Cherleton, 4th Lord Cherleton, no issue *[[FitzAlan-612|Joan]], married William Beauchamp, K.G., 1st Lord Bergavenny *[[FitzAlan-649|Margaret]], born 1383/1385, died before 5 May 1423, married Roland (or Rowland) Lenthall (or Leynthale, Leyntale)
:His wife, Elizabeth, died 3 April 1385 and was buried at Lewes Priory, Sussex.
: Richard married second on 15 August 1390 [[Mortimer-158|Philippe Mortimer]], widow of Sir John de Hastings, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, and daughter of Edmund de Mortimer, Earl of March and Ulster, by Philippe, daughter and heiress of Lionel of Antwerp, K.G., Duke of Clarence. They were married without the king's licence for which Richard was fined 500 marks. In August 1391, the pope declared the dispensation under which they married was valid. They had no children (see [[#Disputed Children|Research Note]] below).
===Death and Burial===:Richard died 21 September 1397, beheaded at Cheapside, and was buried in the church of the Augustin Friars, London.
: Richard left a will dated 4 March 1392/3, but he was subsequently attainted and his honors and estates were forfeited (Cokayne gives will date of 4 March 1382/3). Following the deposition of Richard II in 1399, the attainder was reversed, and Richard's son and heir, Thomas FitzAlan, succeeded to his father's estates and honors.
:His widow, Phillippe, married her third husband, Sir Thomas Poynings, 5th Lord Saint John of Basing, after April 1398. She died 24 September 1401 at Halnaker, Sussex and was buried at Boxgrove Priory, Sussex.
==Research Note==
===Disputed Children===:Richardson and Cokayne specifically state that Richard had no issue by his second wife, but Cawley lists a son, [[Fitzalan-285|John]] ([1394]-after 1397), with no further information or source.Charles Cawley. [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISH%20NOBILITY%20MEDIEVAL1.htm#RichardArundeldied1376B Richard Arundel] entry in "Medieval Lands": A prosopography of medieval European noble and royal families © by Charles Cawley, hosted by ''Foundation for Medieval Genealogy (FMG).'' See also WikiTree's source page for [[Space:Medieval_Lands|MedLands]]. John is still attached as their child, but the parent relationship on John's profile is marked as uncertain.
: [[Fitzalan-281|Isabel Fitzalan]] was previously attached as a daughter of Richard (no mother was attached) and was detached as there are no sources to prove this connection.
:Some state that Richard may have had a son, Sir [[FitzAlan-585|Edmund de Arundel]] who was later bastardized. Edmund was actually the older half-brother, NOT a son, of this Richard.

ODNB says she married Robert de la Pole and both of them died by 1376.*[[FitzAlan-633|Elizabeth]], married first William de Montagu, Knt., Lord Montagu; second Thomas Mowbray, K.G., 1st Duke of Norfolk; third Robert Goushill (or Gousehill, Goushall); and fourth Gerard Usflete, Knt.; Elizabeth was born about 1371 and died 8 July 1425.*[[FitzAlan-626|Alice]], mistress to Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Lincoln before marrying John Cherleton, 4th Lord Cherleton, no issue *[[FitzAlan-612|Joan]], married William Beauchamp, K.G., 1st Lord Bergavenny *[[FitzAlan-649|Margaret]], born 1383/1385, died before 5 May 1423, married Roland (or Rowland) Lenthall (or Leynthale, Leyntale)

They were married without the king's licence for which Richard was fined 500 marks. In August 1391, the pope declared the dispensation under which they married was valid. They had no children (see [[#Disputed Children|Research Note]] below).
===Death and Burial===:Richard died 21 September 1397, beheaded at Cheapside, and was buried in the church of the Augustin Friars, London.

:His widow, Phillippe, married her third husband, Sir Thomas Poynings, 5th Lord Saint John of Basing, after April 1398. She died 24 September 1401 at Halnaker, Sussex and was buried at Boxgrove Priory, Sussex.
==Research Note==
===Disputed Children===:Richardson and Cokayne specifically state that Richard had no issue by his second wife, but Cawley lists a son, [[Fitzalan-285|John]] ([1394]-after 1397), with no further information or source.Charles Cawley. [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISH%20NOBILITY%20MEDIEVAL1.htm#RichardArundeldied1376B Richard Arundel] entry in "Medieval Lands": A prosopography of medieval European noble and royal families © by Charles Cawley, hosted by ''Foundation for Medieval Genealogy (FMG).'' See also WikiTree's source page for [[Space:Medieval_Lands|MedLands]]. John is still attached as their child, but the parent relationship on John's profile is marked as uncertain.
: [[Fitzalan-281|Isabel Fitzalan]] was previously attached as a daughter of Richard (no mother was attached) and was detached as there are no sources to prove this connection.
:Some state that Richard may have had a son, Sir [[FitzAlan-585|Edmund de Arundel]] who was later bastardized. Edmund was actually the older half-brother, NOT a son, of this Richard.
