Documents produced by the entail.

Will of João Martins Gaio and his wife Maria Fernandes de Lima. The couple decided to institute an entail, which included their house in Rua S. Bento, in Vila do Conde, as well as rural properties in the outskirts of the town. The income of the entail was to support a perpetual daily mass to be celebrated at the altar of S. António, in the church of S. João Baptista de Vila do Conde. The first administrator would be their son, João Martins Gaio, with the power to appoint one of his children as his successor. If there were no descendants, the administration would pass to the Brotherhood of the Santíssimo Sacramento.

Followed by the approval deed (1647-09-20, fls. 23v-24v).
