Acórdão em relação (transcription) judging D. Maria de Lencastre as the rightful successor of the entail of João Gomes da Silva, since she was the daughter of the penultimate administrator, João Gomes da Silva, the sister of Luís da Silva, the last administrator, and the entail was not of agnatic succession, as Fernando Teles de Meneses, plaintiff and D. Maria's uncle, argued.
It is mentioned that João Gomes da Silva founded an entail through his will and left it to his only son, Luís da Silva, declaring that its succession should respect the clauses determined by Rui Teles, his grandfather, when he instituted the entail which was eventually inherited by João's father, Brás Teles. Luís da Silva inherited that entail and the patronage of the monastery of Chagas of Lamego.
