Writing question

<p>In 1508, the Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon – the same Ponce De Leon who later would seek the fountain of youth – landed on Puerto Rico accompanied by a small force.</p>

<p>Shouldn't would seek be "sought"? Or are they interchangeable?</p>

<p>answer to that ambiguous question</p>

<p>Either would be okay. However, “who would later seek” is better than “who later would seek…” just smoother. all three are gramatically correct…</p>
