Dowry deed through which Maria Esteves, Pedro Rodrigues' widow, donated various assets to Beatriz Freire, her daughter, and Domingos de Sousa, Cavaleiro Fidalgo da Casa do Rei, her groom, with the purpose of supporting their marriage. The dowry, appraised at 423 000 réis, comprised the houses in Lisboa attached to the pious obligations established by Maria Esteves in the convent of Nossa Senhora do Carmo, golden objects, furniture, a slave from Angola, and other items. The donor committed herself to give to the couple, at the time of her death, the third part of her assets and to choose one of them to become the executor of her will. She determined that her body had to be buried inside the church of Nossa Senhora do Paraíso, in the grave of her grandparents. The bride and the groom gave their consent to this deed.
