John Windsor [Wyndsore]

John Windsor, or Wyndsore, soldier, is buried in the north ambulatory of Westminster Abbey. The brass inscription plate, rather rubbed, on his gravestone has now been moved for better preservation nearer the wall. The grave also originally had a brass figure which has disappeared. The complicated Latin inscription which gives his date of death as 1404 when it should be 1414 can be translated:

It was the year twice seven hundred, and four, the eve of Easter Day, the seventh day of April had dawned when John Wyndsore - famous name - departed from the world, bewailing in his heart and publicly confessing that he was soaked in bloodshed. His uncle William had made him his heir: a soldier, and a worthy gentleman, worthy of the title, as a young man slew many in battle but afterwards repented and openly lamented their wounds. Reposing here in death now his body lies still: may his spirit live in God through all eternity

He took part in the wars in Ireland and was at the battle of Shrewsbury with Henry IV. His uncle was Sir William Windsor. Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and his aunt was Alice Perrers.
