Because her only brother had predeceased her, she and her elder sister, Jane FitzAlan were co-heiresses to the earldom of her father. Mary and Jane both received an excellent education.

Mary was the first wife of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, whom she married in 1556. They had one son, Philip Howard, 20th Earl of Arundel, born the following year. Mary died eight weeks after the birth of Philip, and she was buried in Fitzalan Chapel in Arundel. Upon the death of her father in 1580, the earldom of Arundel passed to his grandson Philip.
