Will made by Maria Franca, widow of Luís Gonçalves, in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual mass obligation of two weekly masses celebrated for her soul and for the sould of her husband, and also three masses at Christmas and in Our Lady's Nativity Day. She named her son Diogo Godinho as first administrator of the entail for a period of three years, and his brothers Lourenço and João Godinho after him, also during three years each. After they were all deceased, the administration should be transmitted to her grandson Zuzarte Godinho, and from there on the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir.
