Entail foundation deed

Entail foundation deed by Maria de Araújo. She decided to establish an entail with the inheritance she had received from her brother Manuel Alves Pinto, together with her own property. As the first administrator, she appointed Estêvão Falcão de Melo, who was married to her niece Mariana, to be followed by their descendants, with preference given to the first-born sons. If they had no children, the succession would pass to the closest relative of the last administrator, as long as it was someone of Maria de Araújo's blood, excluding clerics. The administrators were obliged to celebrate mass in Braga Cathedral.
