Simon Mepeham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon Mepeham or Simon Meopham was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1328 to 1333. Mepeham (sometimes Mepham). Became involved in a dispute about the juridical rights of Churches that had been appropriated by the Monastry of St. Augustine. The monks made an appeal against the Archbishop and the Canon of Salisbury was appointed to mediate. Mepeham was cited to give evidence before the Canon, but refused to attend. The suffragans of Canterbury were in support of Mepeham, but his refusal to submit to the judicial process of the Church led to his excommunication by Pope John XXII in 1333.
