Only the root information. I posted it in a followup message. It puts a lot of other sites info on the root of the Ortega's out. It has connection to the original Kings of Spain...not Juan Carlos (current King of Spain), who is only a quarter Hispanic. I posted info of it on Wikipedia under Ortega. The name is also an original, though it can be looked at as connected to Ortiga, Ortigueira, Ortegal, etc. only because "Or" names were popular at the time. The name is actually closesly rooted to the word Ortun, which is then rooted from Fortuna, meaning "Lucky or from Fortune." A lot of people also have the crest's all messed up. They say that a crest with blue and gold stripes with a red border is the original crest. When that crest has no tie to any Royal heritage, only linked by name. The only other crest that is linked is the one that is quartered or half, but with the same insignias. The one with the Fleur dis Lis and the Wheel, with the border of honor badges and a crown and a plumed helmet with and armored arm holding a sword. The major link can be found when the name moved to Aragon, and that is where most of the mixing took place and other names had branched off. So the name moved from the Carrion of the Condos (Wheel link) to Aragon is where everyone gets confused. And with that, since Nuno Gustios Ortega ancestors settled in the Aragon region, everyone thinks that is where that crest originated from so they don't link it to all those other crests that popped up in Castile, after Princess Ortega Ramirez was born. The link in Wikipedia, was unfortunately deleted recently from a guy who has no historical background and was unable to link his claims, so I am in the process to getting it back up, so everyone else can see the notable figures in Spanish history the Ortegas are tied to.
