Will

Will made by Afonso Eanes in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual mass obligation of one and a chapel of masses celebrated every year on the church of S. Sebastião, in Ponta Delgada, where his body should be buried. He named his son Francisco Afonso as first administrator of the entail, with the obligation of celebrating only half chapel of masses, and, preferably, his eldest male heirs after him, with the obligation of celebration a full chapel of masses. The administrator should assure that the prayer "Deus quinos patrem et matrem honorare precipiti" was said in every mass.
