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 distribution of land in Castelló de Xátiva (Villanueva de Castellón) and in the Valle de Alfandech. The references of this family seem to be needed more frequently from the 15th to the 19th century, especially the events of the fight against the Napoleonic dynasty and the industrial reconstruction of the 19th century in Catalonia. All this seems to coincide with the family memory of some of the members of the Torets family branch. They are his weapons: In gules, thirteen gold stars, put three, three, three, three and one. The study of the family heraldic shield "speaks" to us of those who formed the origin of the T. family, since that was their function, that of manifesting their differential elements to others, since the inclusion of the star element is the most widespread figure in the Heraldic, its meaning is imprecise, as far as the Peninsula is concerned, but it seems to demonstrate its fidelity to the Church of Rome, by analogy to the meaning in Lombardy and Tuscany that was the membership of the Guelph party (of the Pope of Rome). The enamels of the weapon of the T. proclaim the following values: the Gules is the symbol of strength, power, fervent love for God and neighbor, such is the meaning of this enamel, to which we should add the desire of dominance, courage, audacity, strength and magnanimity, a high percentage of this type of family shield was given by acts of war.
