Note the sources relate to Peter Peirce of Bedale. This man did not have either the ancestors or the descendants indicated by this profile. Note also that the standard-bearer hero story, though evidently current among Peirce's real descendants by the 1630s, is not true (or at least, it happened to somebody else, though not "Peter Percy").
