Will made by João Lopes Cortes, in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of two entails. The first one would be composed of some houses in Flor da Rosa, and would have a perpetual mass obligation of four masses celebrated every year in the mother church of Crato, where his body should be buried. To administrate it, he named his nephew Francisco as first administrator and his children and descendants after his death. This second entail would be composed of his vineyards and would be administrated by his nephew José and his descendants. It would have a perpetual mass obligation of two masses celebrated every year in the church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição of Crato. If none of them had children, the administration would be transmitted to Ana, daughter of Francisco Gonçalves.
