Chapel foundation deed

Chapel foundation deed by João Dias Leite, by which he decided to institute a chapel in the newly built church of Santa Cruz. He appointed his nephew Teodoro Leite as administrator. He and all the administrators had several obligations, namely to be members of the Brotherhood of Santa Cruz and to use the family coat of arms. Succession would pass primarily through first-born sons, excluding illegitimate children. A copy of the deed of foundation was to be inserted in the Livro das Capelas and another in the archives of the Brotherhood of Santa Cruz.

Leite, João Dias (flor.1640)
