He was the son of John Fitzalan, Lord of Arundel, and Isabella, daughter of Roger Mortimer of Wigmore. His father was never formally called Earl of Arundel, but Richard was so addressed due to his possession of Arundel, seat of the old Earls of Arundel. During the last decade of his life Arundel had commands in a number of English military campaigns, on the Welsh and Scottish marches and in Gascony. He married Alisona (also known as Alice), daugther of Tomasso (Thomas), marquis of Saluzzo in Italy, and was succeeded by his eldest son Thomas.

Richard FitzAlan, 7th Earl of Arundel, was about five years old when his father died in 1272. Although he and his father inherited the Castle of Arundel, they probably did not bear the title of Earl of Arundel, and it was not until the death of the widow of Hugh de Albini in 1282 that they held the Earldom as well as the Barony of Arundel. He was in the Welsh wars in 1288; in Gascony 1295/7; in Scotland wars 1298-1300. He married before 1285, when but 18, Alasia, daughter of Tommasso I, Marquis of Saluzza by Luisa, daughter of Giorgio, Marquis of Ceva, in Italy. She died September 25, 1292, and he died March 9, 1301/2.
