Dugdale states, that John Maltravers, the father of this Baron, and this John were both Summoned to Parliament 1 Edw. III. but on examining the Summonses in that year it appears, that they were merely summoned to be at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, equis et armis." The Index to his List of Summonses asserts that this Baron was likewise summoned 35 Edw. III. but that Writ was evidently not a Summons to Parliament; ob. 1364, leaving his grand-daughter (daughter of John Maltravers, his eldest son, ob. v. p.) Eleanor, wife of John Fitz-Alan, 2d son of Richard XII.-9th Earl of Arundel, bis next heir, and which John Fitz-Alan is often styled Baron Maltravers jure uxoris, but he was never Summoned to Parliament by that title*. John Fitz-Alan his grandson, succeeded as XV.-12th Earl of Arundel ; in whose descendants this Barony remained vested, and Thomas, son and heir apparent of William XVIII.-15th Earl of Arundel, and Henry, eldest son of William XX.-17th Earl of Arundel, were Summoned to Parliament vita patris as Barons Maltravers. Mary Fitz-Alan, the dau. and eventually sole heir of the last-mentioned Henry Baron Maltravers (who succeeded as XXI.-18th Earl of Arundel), carried this Barony to her husband Thomas Howard IX.4th Duke of Norfolk, and with the Earldom of Arundel it descended to their son Philip Howard, who was attainted 32 Eliz. when it became Forfeited; it was, however, restored to his son Thomas XXIII.-20th Earl of Arundel, and by Act of Parliament 3 Car. I. this Barony, together with the Baronies of Fitz-Alan, Clun, and Oswaldestre, was annexed to the title, dignity, and honor of Earl of Arundel, and settled upon the said Thomas Howard, then Earl of Arundel and Surrey, and his heirs male, with remainder to the heirs of his body; remainder to his It appears however that this John was Summoned to Parliament (probably in consequence of his marriage) in the 1st, 2d, and 3d of Richard II. as "Johanni de Arundel."
