Petition

Petition made by Bernardo da Fonseca, grandfather and tutor of D. Beatriz Pereira, asking for an exemplification of the will and codicil made by the girl's grandmother, D. Guiomar Nunes Vidal.

Will

Will made in Castelo de Vide by D. Guiomar Nunes Vidal, in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of two entails. The first entail and chapel would be composed of properties in Marvão, would have a perpetual obligation of one daily mass on the first two years after her death, and of two weekly masses, celebrated on Fridays and Saturdays, after those two years. Those masses would be celebrated on the church of the monastery of N. Sra. da Conceição, where her body should be buried. To administrate it she named her nephew Vasco Pires, who lived in Portalegre, and his descendants born of legitimate marriage after him, as long as the entail would always remain on the lineage of the Vidal family. The second entail would be administrated by her nephew Diogo Pereira, with a perpetual mass obligation of one weekly mass celebrated in every Monday and in all the feasts of the Virgin Mary. Diogo would be succeeded by his descendants, but, if he had none, he would appoint one of his brothers to succeed him with the same conditions.
