What is the support for this?  WS used "Percy" as the family name, as
did Holinshed ("Persie").  Smithson sounds too plebeian -- smith's son
-- to be the family name of such magnates.

Cri de guerre : Espérance et Percy

The reference to "Esperance in Dieu" is a later development in the17th
century associated to a name of a ship of 1632.
