Notes for William d' Albini Earl of Arundel
There are two William de Albinies in the DNB, both of whom are stated to be magna Carta sureties - and the author of both articles was W H Round.
However no earl of Arundel appears on any modern list of the 25 sureties so I have excluded this gent from that classification. CP is adamant (Vol I, p. 236, note (d) ) that it was the Belvoir Albini that was the surety.
(I think Round was sleeping when he wrote this article for DNB.)
Finally see the pedigree on p. 237 of CP, Vol I, where CP explains that the Arundel descent was confused by Dugdale and that this was revealed by Round; sounds like Round realised his error a bit late for his DNB entry!

Article
Albini, William de, Earl of Arundel d. 1221, and grandson of the preceding, also styled Earl of Sussex, was son of William, the second earl, whom he succeeded in 1196. He was a favourite of King John; he witnessed John's concession of the kingdom to the pope (15 May 1213), and, accompanying him to Runnymede (15 June 1215), became one of the sureties for his faithful observance of the charter; but on John's abandonment of Winchester to Louis (14 June 1216) he went over to the winning side. After the royalist victory at Lincoln he returned to his allegiance (14 July 1217), and shortly after acted as justiciar. In 1218 he set sail for the East, took part in the siege of Damietta (1219), and died in Italy on his way home, his son doing homage for his lands, 12 April 1221.
