Opening deed of the will made by the deceased Isabel Vaz Velha, in which she ordered the foundation of three entails.

Will made by Isabel Vaz Velha, in which she ordered the foundation of three entails, all of them located in Portalegre. The first entail would be administrated by her nephew Simão Vaz, with the perpetual obligation of ten masses celebrated every year on the church of S. Francisco's convent in Portalegre, where her body should be buried. After the death of Simão, the succession should always continue on the eldest male heir. The second entail would be administrated by her niece Ana Rodrigues and her descendants, with the condition that she would marry and celebrate, perpetually, two masses every year. This third entail would be administrated by the brother of the institutor, Sebastião Freire, during his lifetime, and after his death it would be shared and administrated by his daughters Ana and Maria with the condition that each of them should always celebrate two masses every year as long as the world lasted. Both Maria and Ana would be succeeded by their eldest male heirs.
