Will

Will made by Álvaro Mexia and his wife Filipa Rodrigues in which they ordered their burial in the cathedral of Portalegre, in which they ordered the building of a chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Luz and established three entails, each with an obligation of two masses over their tombs. The first one would be composed of an estate in Monforte, and would be administered by their daughter Guiomar Mexia and by her heirs. The second one would be composed by their estate of Caravides, in Assumar, and would be administered by their son António Mexia and by his descendants. The third entail would be composed of a property in ladeira de São Tomé and would be administered by their son Lopo Cabreira and by his descendants. If their lineage was extinguished, the administration of these entails should be transmited to the Confraria de Nossa Senhora da Luz with a perpetual obligation of one daily mass.

Mexia, Álvaro (d.1565)
