Will chart

Will chart made by Constança Afonso, widow of Diogo Vaz Cavaleiro in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of two entails. The first one would have a perpetual mass obligation of a weekly mass celebrated in the church of the Misericórdia, in Ponta Delgada, and to administrate it, she named her nephew Afonso Eanes, priest, and his eldest brother after his death, and from there on the entail should follow the ordenações and the legal costums of the Portuguese kingdom. The second entail would be administrated by her daughter Isabel Dias and her descendants after her, with no mass obligation.

Codicil

Codicil made by Constança Afonso, widow of Diogo Vaz Cavaleiro in which she revoked and changed some clauses of her will chart. Firstly she revoked the clause regarding an entailed moio of wheat to sustain the first entail she founded, on behalf of her nephew Afonso Eanes, and ordered, instead, the same land should be leased to her sister Leonora during three lifetimes, and the perpetual mass obligation should be payed from the lease's income. Secondly, she ordered that the second entail, founded on behalf of her daughter Isabel Dias, should have a perpetual mass obligation of an yearly mass celebrated on All Soul's Day.
