  • Notes 
    • According to Burke, Richard was made Earl of Arundel by King Edward III. He was afterward made governor of Chirke Castle in Denbigh, and inherited the castle the next year, along with all its lands, part of which had been owned by Roger de Mortimer, Earl of March. Richard was soonafter made governor of Porchester Castle. Following this, he was given a command in Scotland for some years, after which he was made admiral of the western seas and governor of Caernarvon Castle in Wales. He " "embarked in the French wars, and participated in the glories of the subsequent campaigns." H e was "at the seige of Vannes, the relief of Thouars, and the immortal battle of Creasy." Burke goes on to say that Richard was "frequently employed in diplomatic missions of the first importance, and was esteemed one of the most emminent generals and statesmen of the era in which he lived."
