For many years, many authors, among which Bizen Do Rio Martinez, tried to collect in protocols, salutes, signatures and other documents, many blazons of Aragon, among which are those of the family name Sa, that presents the great work of this author "Dictionary of Aragonese Heraldry", which in many cases, have also been proven in churches, hermitages and cemeteries. All have been carefully recorded and above all, with its proven provenance. Centuries of history have shaped these blazons, among which are those of the family name Sa and throughout the Aragonese geography we can admire mansions and facades that still conserve the armeros stones that emblazon the lineage of the ancient infanzons, in most cases today inhabited by descendants of those hidalgos, such as the name Sa. Our infanzons, as surely the Sa, conscious of their duty and displaying the nobility of their race, they often promoted their troops at their expense and, leaving their homes and estates, set out to reconquer, enlarging the Aragonese kingdom and conforming with his effort and sacrifice what would later be the Crown of Aragon. Here we also have the heraldry and history of the name Sa.

The work "Linajes y Blasones de Galicia", by Father Crespo, where the heraldry and the history of the family name Sa appears, is the most important treatise of the heraldry of Galicia (Spain), and was published three hundred years after the appearance of the posthumous "Nobiliario, Armas y Triunfos de Galicia", by Father Felipe de la Gandara. Its author Father Crespo Pozo, had for his investigations, vigils and costly walks that were rewarded with the kind collaboration of Nobles as the Dukes of Medinaceli facilitating the archive of the Grand Casa Marquesal de Camarasa, etc. All this resulted in a plurality of sources of consultation that make the scholarly work, encyclopedic and illustrative in Galician heraldry. This work collects, as we have already said, the history and heraldry of family Sa so the Sa or they are Galician or linked in some of their branches to Galicia.
