Summary​

Barony of Arun should instead be barony of Arundel

Description​

On the basis that other holdings are named after the relevant settlements, the barony of Arun should be renamed barony of Arundel. The Arun is the name given today to the river that runs through the town, which was actually usually known as the Arundel river (after the town) in Medieval times. Arun is also the name of the modern local government district that was formed in 1974. Arundel is the name of the town itself as well as the castle, famous for its role in the opening stages of the war between King Stephen and Matilda.
