Donation deed

Donation deed, made in Arronches, in which Isabel Bernardes took a rent worth three moios of wheat she owned in an estate named Herdade da Carneira and donated it to her nephew António Bernardes as an entail with a perpetual obligation of twenty six masses celebrated every year, from which six would be sung. She also disposed that all administrators should distribute three alqueires of wheat in All Soul's Day among the poor people. After António's death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir, and if he had no children or his bloodline became extinguished, the administration would be handled to the Misericórdia of Arronches.

Bernardes, Isabel (flor.1581)
