When the Cotoner family grew in numbers, some of its members left Tuscany and established branches in various other places. Some went to Ascoli, where they founded and built the Castle of Monte Pastillo in Sicily, where they held the principality of Castelnuovo and Santa Caterina, keeping the memory of their Signoria del Cotoné in the Republic of Siena.[2][3][4][5]
One of those branches was to become one of the so-called "Nou Cases" (meaning Nine Houses)[6] in the Kingdom of Majorca, for there were nine "nobilis et Antique familiae'". These nine families were also incorporated into the Nobility governing and legislative bodies, like all the other houses, of the Kingdom but differed by the quality of their lineage.[7]
Bernardo Cotoner is first documented in the Kingdom of Majorca when setting up a "beneficio" for the Parish of Santa Eulalia and then again on 1363, acquiring a farmhouse ("alqueria") in Valldemossa. On July 23, 1370 Letters patent were issued by Peter IV of Aragon confirming tax exception as well as their nobility for them participants in the conquest and his successors.[1]
His son Nicolas Cotoner y Genovard had three sons: Nicolas, Bernardo y Gabriel Cotoner y Saguals, setting up three distinct branches.[8]Bernardo Cotoner y Saguals earned on July 18, 1463, for his merits and services, privilege for perpetuity in the "braç militar" of the Kingdom of Mallorca.[9]
It will be however, the great-grandson of Nicolas Cotoner y Saguals, Antonio Cotoner y Vallobar who will effectively consolidate the influence of the family. Antonio had been acting in the Res publica of his country, having demonstrated special talents and deserving the trust of the sworn representatives of the city and the Kingdom of Majorca to perform an important commission.[10]Perpetual privilege was issued in October 18, 1569 effectively knighted 1572 by Philip II of Spain.[1]
Of special relevance, is the historic and close relationship of this family with the Knights Hospitaller also known as Order of Malta with the ascension of Raphael and Nicolas Cotoner to the sovereign dignity of Grand Masters.[11]

^Guida alla Maremma mediavale 12. Cotone (P.169-174) "Il castello di Cotone, che non figura nelle spartizioni dei centricontrollati dagli Aldobrandeschi nel XIII secolo, era all’epoca do-minato da un gruppo signorile locale, che nel primo Trecento ri-sulta strettamente legato ai cosiddetti “Conti di Montorgiali”, unaconsorteria nobiliare rurale che nei decenni centrali del Duecentoagiva nell’area in sintonia con il Comune di Siena, contrapponen-dosi agli Aldobrandeschi di Sovana-Pitigliano. Una sottomissione al Comune di Siena in cui si fa esplicita men-zione del castello di Cotone, comunque, si realizzò solo negli ul-timi anni del governo popolare dei Nove, quando nel 1351 la famiglia signorile discendente dai “conti di Montorgiali”, vale a dire i “Maggi – del Cotone”, sottomise al Comune di Siena questo ca-stello unitamente, appunto, a quello di Montorgiali. Nel 1378 gliesponenti del medesimo gruppo familiare alienarono più consi-stenti diritti giurisdizionali sul castello e sul territorio di Cotone alComune di Siena, che prese possesso, tra l’altro, della “torre delcassero” e di un “palazzo” nella “fortezza” del castello. Pochi annidopo, nel 1385 il Cotone venne occupato dalle masnade dellacompagnia militare dei Bretoni, unitesi a quelle del magnate seneseribelle Spinello Tolomei, sino a che l’esercito di Siena, appoggiatodalle truppe dei Salimbeni, magnati antagonisti dei Tolomei per ilpredominio sul governo senese, occuparono nuovamente il centro."

^"Scansano" (in Italian). Siena: Toscana.info. Le prime notizie del Castello e Corte di Montorgiali si hanno in una bolla di Clemente III dell'anno 1188 diretta al Vescovo di Grosseto. Il Castello, di aspetto possente data la sua struttura a facciavista, fu costruito in vetta ad un poggio e presenta ancora oggi importanti finestre ad arco e mensole di piombatoi ormai spariti. Il Castello ed il Borgo seguirono le vicissitudini derivanti dalle ostilità fra gli Aldobrandeschi del ramo di Santa Fiora e la Repubblica di Siena. I Conti di Montorgiali, dapprima Vassalli degli Aldobrandeschi, nel 1224 si schierarono con Siena e sostennero costose guerre che li costrinsero, per fronteggiare le spese, a cedere diritti di alcuni beni fra i quali Castiglioncello e relativo distretto. Nell'anno 1378 Montorgiali fu venduto alla Repubblica di Siena.
