Documents produced by the entail.

Juízo dos Resíduos record of the entail instituted by António de Morais.

Will (extract) of António de Morais. The testator decides to reserve all his real estate and movable property, incorporating them into a chapel, which would be entailed in perpetuity in a "capela" or "morgado". The entail was accompanied by the obligation to celebrate perpetual masses, namely a weekly mass every Friday in honour of the Five Wounds of Christ. The first holder of the entail would be Paula, a young and single girl, the daughter of Leonor de Morais. The entail would be used as a dowry for her marriage, provided she married according to her mother's wishes. The entail would go primarily to the first-born sons, with the exception of the administrators who married Jews, Moors or artisans. The administrators were obliged to live in Barcelos or on its outskirts, unless their service to the King or the Duke of Bragança took them elsewhere.
