My research indicates that the Fitzalan family dropped the surname,
Fitzalan, in favor of Arundel about 1313. Thereafter all members of
the family were known exclusively as Arundel (or de Arundel).

But you didn't mention that among historians, you appear to be singularly
alone in this theory. Isn't that a bit odd?

In the Complete Peerage Volume I Page 249, we find Thomas (FitzAlan
otherwise Arundell otherwise Mautravers) Earl of Arundel
on page 250 we find the last two Earls of Arundel, both with the
nameFitzalan.
Also CP XIV does not correct any of the surnames mentioned.
It seems messy to say the least, but "known exclusively as Arundel (or de
Arundel)" I doubt that.
