Documents produced by the entail.

Opening deed of the will made by the deceased padre Manuel Gonçalves, in which he ordered the foundation of an entail and chapel.

Provision issued in Casa da Suplicação by the Dr. João de Seixas Cabreira, desembargador da Casa da Suplicação, Juiz Geral das Ordens Militares, Provisor-Geral no espiritual e temporal das terras do Priorado do Crato Nullius Diocesis, on behalf of padre Manuel Gonçalves allowing him to build a chapel of the invocation of Jesus Christ on the mother church of Crato, henceforth confirmed by effect of this provision, as accorded in a dowry deed made between him and the vigário of the mother church.

Will made by Domingos Gonçalves, administrator of the entail founded by his son, padre Manuel Gonçalves, in which he confirmed the institution of the chapel and entailed his own reserved portion to it. However he changed the dispositions regarding the form of administration in case that Catarina, his daughter, died without children. As Manuel left a very detailed, although unlawfull, form of succession, which would be ruled by election, he disposed that if Catarina died without children, the administration would be handled to his son-in-law, Belchior Golaio, husband of Catarina, during his lifetime, and after his death, the administration would be transmitted to João da Cruz, nephew of the administrator, who lived in the city of Guarda, with the condition that he and his descendants would live in Crato to better administrate the chapel. And if João also died without children, the administration would be handled to the closest relative, that being Manuel Álvares Tomás, who lived in Gafete. If none of them had children, the administrator would be appointed by the Vigário and Beneficiados of the mother church among a good honourable man, without hebrew, moorish and mullato descendance, and could not be or descend from any drunken man either. Finally, he disposed that this will and the will made by Manuel Gonçalves should both be copied in two separate books to be given one for the administrator and the other for the chaplain, and those books should also contain a detailed inventory of the chapel's assets.

Will made by padre Manuel Gonçalves, in which he ordered, among several other dispositions, the foundation of an entail and chapel with a perpetual mass obligation of one daily mass celebrated on this chapel, invocation of Jesus Christ, in the mother church of Crato.
He left very detailed instructions for the ornate of the chapel, detailing all silverware, trousseau, garments, and altarpiece. He named his father, Domingos Gonçalves, as first administrator during his lifetime, with the condition he would complete the construction and ornamentation of the chapel. After his death, the administration would be handed to the institutor's sister, Catarina Gonçalves, who would appoint a fine and decent clergyman to celebrate the masses, one that must not be hebrew, moorish or mulatto descendancy, nor descend of, any "drunken man".
After the death of Catarina, the succession would always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. However, if she died without children, the administration would be handled to the same chaplain who celebrated the masses, to be elected by the local vigário and beneficiados in a voting session which would be based on the use of withe and dark beans to elect potential candidates.
