Ralph de Brantingham was an English noble of the mid-fourteenth century, who served as King's Chamberlain to Edward III.

De Brantingham was appointed King's Chamberlain on 31 January 1349 and admitted the following day, 1 February 1349.[1] He was succeeded by William de Mulsho, who was himself appointed on 21 February 1365, which serves as a terminus ante quem for de Brantingham's reign.[1] In any event, de Brantingham continued to serve as the king's clerk as late as 1366.[2]

Religious offices

Early in his career, on 27 February 1346, de Brantingham was presented to the church of Kirkby Thore in the diocese of Carlisle.[3] De Brantingham also held a prebend of the collegiate church in South Malling and was parson of the church of Medburn in the diocese of Lincoln until 4 October 1366, when, by writ at Westminster, the king exchanged de Brantingham's benefices with that of Nicholas de Chaddesden, also the king's clerk - namely, the parsonage of the church of Cherryng in the diocese of Canterbury.[2]
