Exemplification of the will of Marta Lopes.

Documents produced by the entail.

Petition by the House of Misericórdia of Vila do Cano, requiring an exemplification of the will of Marta Lopes.

Will of Marta Lopes. She decided that her body should be buried in the Church of the Misericórdia of Vila do Cano. As she had no forced heirs, she disposed of all her assets to establish an entail with the perpetual charge of celebrating 12 annual masses. The first administrator would be her niece, Maria Dias, married to Gonçalo Fernandes, who lived in Azurara, where Marta Lopes was born. After Maria's death, the entail would pass to her first-born children, male or female, and through their descendants until the end of the world.
