Heraldic and genealogical preview of the family: Ferreira Corona de la nobleza Ferreira The origin of heraldry is lost in the night of time, at the time when warriors protected themselves from evil and showed their aggressiveness by decorating their shields with symbols and protective marks. Later, the real Heraldry arose, at the time of the Crusades, in which the knights wore their coats of arms as a means to identify themselves in battle, later becoming emblems of nobility. The Heraldry thus originated in the circles of the highest nobility, later spreading to other layers of society. The granting of the coat of arms was therefore made to a certain individual with the right to perpetuate it in his lineage. Who was the main ancestor and trunk propagator of this illustrious lineage is ignored by its remote antiquity, being traditional and immemorial the nobility of their children, who have always enjoyed and everywhere the consideration and pre-eminence corresponding to their lustrous births, not being the most enlightened of its lines which took root and flourished in Portugal.
