Will

Will of Francisco Freire and his wife Maria de Sá de Herédia. The couple reserved their "terças" to establish an entail with a chapel in the convent of São Francisco de Vila do Conde. Their son, Luís Freire de Sá, would be the first administrator. If he had no descendants, the succession would pass to the children of Margarida Ferreira and Manuel Barbosa de Sá. Ideally, the administration would pass to the first-born son, excluding clerics. The institutors stated that the successor should be the closest relative, as long as is someone related by blood. If there were no relatives, then the administration of the entail was to be passed on to the Misericórdia.

Followed by the approval deed (1656-08-15, fl. 44v-45v).
