Documents produced by the entail.

Chapel foundation deed by António de São Dionísio, bishop of the island of Santiago, in Cape Verde. The bishop declares that he has built a chapel under the invocation of Nossa Senhora da Piedade in the farmstead of Santo André de Marecos, in the Bishopric of Porto, leaving a retable with the image of the Virgin to be placed in the said chapel, where perpetual daily Masses would be celebrated for the soul of the founder. António de São Dionísio leaves 4.000 cruzados to be used to buy estates or interest rates to be entailed to the chapel. The first administrator would be his nephew, Manuel de Sousa Loureiro, to whom the institutor leaves the power to appoint one of his children as successor. After that, the succession would go primarily to the first-born sons. The successor should always be an Old Christian. The institutor also requestes that the bishops of Porto and the "provedores das capelas" to register the institution in their records and to surveil the fulfilment of his wishes.
