Secret bonus facts for fans of the channel who read this far down the descriptions: After his imprisonment and removal from office, William de Brunham was succeeded as Prior by William de Kyrkely on October 1, 1272. Historical records indicate that de Brunham did not return to the priory or resume his former position within the church hierarchy. Details about his life following his release from prison are scarce, as he faded from public records once he was deposed and replaced. He likely lived a private, retired life away from the public eye.
