Opening deed of the will made by the deceased padre João de Miranda in which he ordered the foundation of an entail.

Will made by padre João de Miranda in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail composed of properties in Reguengos and Arronches. He named António Mendes Invenções as first administrator with the condition that he would keep a quarter of those properties’ income for himself and the other three quarters would be spent with the celebration of masses for the institutor's soul. After the death of António Mendes Invenções, the entail should be administrated by Isabel Tavares, and after her death the succession would always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. However, if any of Isabel's children wished to become a clergyman, he would be preferred on the administration, using the proceeds of the entailed properties to order himself priest.
