Arundel

Arundel is a market town and civil parish in the south of England in the county of West Sussex. It is part of the Arun District. The town is famous for Arundel Castle, one of the best preserved castles of the Middle Ages. It is the ancestral seat of the powerful Earls of Arundel, who were also Dukes of Norfolk and had a lasting influence on the townscape.

The village, which has a population of around 3500, is home to the FitzAlan Chapel, a unique sacred building divided down the middle by a wall. This dates back to the English Civil War and was part of a peace agreement between the Protestants and the Catholics.

Arundel is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton. The Cathedral of Our Lady and St Philip Howard was built in the 19th century in the French Gothic style around 1400 and consecrated on 1 July 1873.

The river Arun, which flows through the city to the west, was named after the village and was formerly called Tarrant.

In Gottfried of Strasbourg's Tristan, this duchy is the home of Duke Jovelin, his wife Karsie, and their children Kaedin and Isolde Weisshand (v. 18690-18717).
