Entail foundation deed

Entail foundation deed by Leonor Vieira. Leonor was a single woman and had no heir. She decided to favour her niece, Catarina Vieira da Silva, the daughter of her first cousin, declaring her great love for her and deciding to provide her with a dowry to ensure a good marriage. For this purpose, she decided to entail properties that would pass into Catarina's hands after Leonor's death. The property was to be inherited by Catarina's descendants, with preference given to the first-born sons, and with the obligations of celebrating perpetual mass at Leonor Vieira's grave, using the family name and registering the property in the "Livro das capelas dos Resíduos" in Braga.
