The Earl of Arundel and his brother-in-law John de Warenne were the only nobles who remained loyal to King

Hugh le Despenser, and agreed to the marriage of his son to Despenser's granddaughter. Arundel had previously been granted many of the traitor Mortimer's forfeited estates, and was appointed Justice of Wales in 1322 and Warden of the
Welsh Marches in 1325. He was also made Constable of
Montgomery Castle which became his principal base.
The Earl of Arundel was captured in
Shropshire by the Queen's party.

Hereford, Arundel was beheaded by order of the Queen, leaving Alice de Warenne a widow.
