John Seymour

His monumental brass survives set into the floor of Great Bedwyn Church, inscribed as follows: "Here lyeth the body of John Seymour sonne and here of Sr John Seymour, Knight, & of Margery oon of the daughters of Sr Henry Wentworth, Knight, which decessed ye xv day of July the yer of or Lord MVCX [1610] on whos soule Jh(es)u have m(er)cy & of yor charitie say a Pater Nost(er) & a Ave (Maria)"

The Roman numeral date given - MVCX - does not make sense. Literally translated it is 1095+10 = 1105 which would have been written as MCV. I suspect the "V" should have been a "D", making the date MDCX which would be 1610, but this would not fit the birth date of 1498 unless this man lived more than 100 years which is unlikely.
