Will by which André Zuzarte de Campos Tavares and his wife Inês Tenreiro, express their wish to be buried in the convent of S. Francisco of Portalegre and establish an entail with a perpetual obligation of two annual masses. They named their eldest granddaughter Mariana Zuzarte as first administrator during her lifetime and, after her death, the succession should continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. If Mariana had no heirs, the administration would be transmitted to her sister Madalena with the same conditions, and if she also had no children, then André Zuzarte, son of the institutors, would receive the administration, but he would be succeeded by his second-born son, so that the first born could not accumulate the administration of this entail with another one he already administrated. No administrator could never perpetrate crimes of lese-majeste nor marry with a person of the so-called "infected races", or otherwise would be deprived from the administration. All administrators were obliged to annex their own reserved portions to the entail.
