Chapel foundation deed

For this reason, he established a chapel in the church of Santiago da Cividade, where perpetual masses would be celebrated. The first administrator was to be his brother Manuel da Grã, who had the power to appoint one of his relatives as his successor, preferring a man but accepting a woman. The founder bequeathed property to the chapel, but also left 1,000 cruzados to be used for the purchase of other properties. Two-thirds of the income was to be spent on pious obligations, such as masses and the marriage of orphans. The documents relating to the chapel were to be recorded in the "Livro das Capelas" of the Juízo dos Resíduos de Braga, to whom the institutior also demanded constant vigilance in the fulfilment of the pious duties. The administrator had to live in Braga and keep a key to the chapel. Two "tombos" of the chapel were made.
