Court sentence

Court sentence issued by the eldest vereador of Alter do Chão judging the will made by Fernando Nunes Manhãs as firm and well made, ordering it to be fullfilled.

Will

Will made by Fernando Nunes Manhãs, in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual obligation of ten masses celebrated every year in the mother church of Alter do Chão, where his body should be buried. He named his niece Margarida Lourenço as first administrator and her descendants after her, with the condition that she would marry with Brás Manhãs, nephew of the institutor. If she did not want to marry him, then he, Brás, and his descendants would administrate the entail. If none of them had children, then the administration should be handled to the brother of Brás, Diogo Mendes or the closest relative. If the institutor's bloodline was extinguished then the officers of the municipal council of Alter do Chão whould appoint three among the poorest man to administrate it.

Manhãs, Fernando Nunes (d.1634)
