Will of Bartolomeu Cordeiro. The testator requests to be buried in the Cathedral of Braga, in front of the altar of S. António. Bartolomeu was married to Isabel Silveira, but they had no forced heirs. After his death, his wife was to enjoy all his possessions. After their deaths, the properties were to go to Maria, Bartolomeu's daughter, who had been legitimised. She would have the properties during her lifetime, and then they would go to Maria Macedo's daughters. The properties were to be entailed, namely the house of the testator, located in the street of S. Miguel o Anjo, in Braga, with the perpetual obligation of eight masses a year at the altar of S. Pedro de Rates, in the Cathedral of Braga.
