John Arundel was a member of the FitzAlan family and was the eldest son of John Arundel, 1st Baron Arundel , who was Earl Marshal from 1377 until his death in 1379 , and of Eleanor Maltravers, 2nd Baroness Maltravers . After the death of his father in 1379, his mother married Reynold Cobham for the second time. From his father he inherited the title of Baron Arundel , although it is uncertain whether this title was effectively conferred. Even as apparent marriage to his mother, who was a baroness in her own right, John had a right to be called to parliament . However, he was never called to parliament. In 1383 he served in the English army in Scotland, in 1388 he served during an English sea expedition.

He married Elizabeth Despenser , daughter of Edward le Despenser, 1st Baron Despenser and Elizabeth Burghersh. With her he had at least one son, John Arundel (1385-1421). He was buried in Missenden Abbey in Buckinghamshire . After his early death, his widow was second married to William Zouche, 3rd Baron Zouche of Haryngworth . His son inherited the title of Earl of Arundel in 1415 after the death of his cousin Thomas Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel .
