By references of historians of the time and others found by Araldis in the city and other private registry files, we could affirm, but not assure, that this shield or another very similar to it, initially appeared from the 11th to the 14th century, particularly in the composition of the troops with which Jaume II conquered Alicante, Elche and Murcia at the end of the 13th century. The references of this family seem to be needed more frequently from the 15th to the 19th century, especially the events of lepanto, accompanying the Catalan assault and boarding troops of D. Juan de Austria in the events of 1,571. All this seems to coincide with the family memory of some of the members of the Frio family branch. The study of the family heraldic shield "speaks" to us of those who formed the origin of the F. family, since that was their function, that of manifesting their differential elements to others, since the inclusion of the wolf element indicates the participation of this family in a fact that could be translated as victory over evil and as protector of shepherds. The enamels of the F. weapon proclaim the following values: Gold is the symbol of the Sun, origin of life, its spiritual characteristics correspond to faith, mercy, temperance, charity and justice, on the other hand said enamel points to the family with happiness, love, nobility and splendor, that is, it is the noblest of metals.
