Entail foundation deed

Entail foundation deed by António Barbosa Fiúza, priest in São Julião de Passos. The founder recognised the importance of the celebration of perpetual masses for the benefit of souls, which is why he decided to establish a "morgado ou capela", entailing all his possessions. The heir would have the perpetual obligation to ensure that two masses were celebrated every week in the church of Vila Nova de Cerveira, where the founder was born and where he was to be buried. He appointed his nephew Miguel Barbosa Fiúza as the first administrator, or alternatively, if Miguel had obtained a well-paid position, another nephew called Tomé Barbosa Fiúza. First-born sons were preferred to succeed. Each administrator was obliged to use the surnames Barbosa and Fiúza and to marry according to his parents' wishes. If there were two or more relatives with the same degree of kinship, preference was given to those who had obtained a university degree, first those who had studied at the University of Coimbra and then those who had studied at the Sapienza University of Rome. Within two years, an inventory of the estates had to be made, with three copies: one for the administrator, one for the "Livro das Capelas" of the Juízo dos Resíduos and one for the "Provedor da Comarca".

At that time, the couple had no children and decided that in the absence of descendants, the surviving member of the couple had the power to appoint the successor.
