The royal descent set forth below for the immigrant, Edward Howell
(1584-1655), of Southampton, Long Island has been a work in progress
for many years. The line, albeit in a different form, was originally
brought to my attention by the late Dr. David Faris, who was a lineal
descendant of Edward Howell. From the start, a variety of problems
were encountered in attempting to document the line. While not every
single problem has been resolved, the evidence seems to clearly
indicate that Edward Howell's Dormer ancestors were descended from
Ralph de Arundel, an illegitimate son of a member of the noble house
of Arundel. For the reasons stated below, I believe Ralph de Arundel
was an illegitimate son of Richard de Arundel, Earl of Arundel and
Surrey (died 1376).

The unique arms of Ralph de Arundel are discussed in various heraldic
sources, among them Montague, Guide to the Study of Heraldry (1840):
43–44. See link for more info
