The king, who had formerly presented Melton to the church of East Wretham, returned a presentation of the same to the abbot of Bec, who then ratified the estate of Braunford and repealed the presentation to Melton. The king then seized all the abbot's temporalities and advowsons into his hands because of the war and put them in the keeping of the prior of Ogbourne by his letters patent. The said church was then made vacant by the death of Braunford and the prior presented, instituted and inducted Broughton to the church, but the king presented Norwich to the same, followed by a scire facias.
