Dowry deed by which D. Pedro de Meneses, Conde de Vila Real, promised to give 20 000 dobras mouriscas to his daughter, D. Beatriz de Meneses, and D. Fernando de Noronha, her groom, to enable their marriage. Since he had already given 5 000 dobras to D. Fernando, he committed himself to deliver the remaining part in the following years. A considerable portion of the dowry should be paid with lands located in Portugal, which would be incorporated in an entail. After the death of D. Beatriz de Meneses, it would be administrated by her eldest legitimate son and transmitted to his descendants.
As a guaranty that he would fulfil that promise, D. Pedro de Meneses gave the possession of the following properties to the couple: a farmstead in the Julgado de Palhais ("quinta do Chão de Couce"); all the rents and rights attached to the Julgado de Avelar; a property in Rapoula; lands in the Julgados de Aguda, Maçãs e Pousa Foles; assets in Torres Novas; the village of Alcoentre; a farmstead in Vila Franca ("quinta das Lameiras"); two farmsteads in Lisboa ("quinta da Charneca"; "quinta da Palma") and another in Cabeça de Alporche ("quinta de Alcouvar").
D. Fernando de Noronha gave 4 000 dobras mouriscas as a dower to his future wife.
