About Simon de Brantingham
Simon de Brantingham was an English noble of the mid-fourteenth century. During the reign of Edward III, de Brantingham held the stewardship of the Hospital of St John the Baptist in Dorchester, Dorset, although his involvement in the embezzlement and wanton disposal of the hospital's assets resulted in his replacement by Thomas de Brantingham in 1360.
Stewardship of the Hospital of St John the Baptist De Brantingham was implicated in the wasteful and destructive administration of the Hospital of St John the Baptist in Dorchester, which had suffered the alienation of so much of its land that it was no longer capable of almsgiving. A royal inquiry, commissioned by writ of 18 November 1359, headed by the county escheator and with a jury empanelled to hear the findings, found that de Brantingham, then steward of the hospital, had not only alienated land but also carried off chattels from the hospital, including linens and bedding.
