Will

Will made by Catarina Monteiro, in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual mass obligation of one trinitary of masses celebrated every year on the convent of S. Francisco, in Portalegre, where her body should be buried. She named her husband Diogo de Matos as first administrator with the condition that he would appoint a relative of her mother's descendancy to succeed him, and from there on the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. If the institutor's bloodline was extinguished then the administration should be handled to the Misericórdia of Portalegre.

Monteiro, Catarina (d.1659)
