Toward the year
1,080, times of the Cid Campeador, two brothers were
found here and a sister. They went for the edict of Mrs
Magpie of Castile that was in war with the king of
Aragon.
María Perez, like the sister was called, he was impelled
in continuing his brothers to the fight, so he dressed
the armor and he responded next to them to defend his
banner.
After the fight certain dispersion between the troops
was produced and María, sóla, in the half-light in the
afternoon, came upon another confused: Alfonso the
Fighter.
María carried the
covered face with the ambush, as the heraldic statue
shows him then that still can be
observed in his possession of Villanañe, and thus fought
against the aragonese one, leaving the
sword, despite which, was so large its value, that
conquered its opponent and did prisoner.
It admired, the
king, he told him: "You have done,
not as weak woman,
but like hardly male and should call you Varona, vos and
yours descending and in memory of this feat will use the
weapons of Aragon".
It is discussed if the origin of the bars that appear in
the shield of the Varonas is this or more well these
bars would appear by to have been subsequently María
Perez, woman of Gift Watches. The bars appear in
diagonal, which he implies that have been cattle like
trophy, this reinforces the first theory.
The name of Ruy remained in Rodrigo, and thus the
first-born one of the family along generations has
called itself.
The Perez was lost and step to be Varona, that has been
maintained along the centuries.
María Pérez, of
Villanañe, was a widow of the infant gift Watches
(brother of three kings of Aragon: Pedro I, Alfonso I
and Ramiro The Monk), being her third woman, and was
sister of Alvar Pérez and Gómez Pérez. Of his wedding
with Candle he was born Rodrigo Varona, the first one of
the lineage.
The Cuban branch
of the family is especially extensive, excelling the
polygraph Enrique José of Varona and Pérez, born in Port
Prince in 1849 and that touched a variety of
overwhelming themes along its life, including
philosophy, psychology, etc. Also participated in
politics.
