Will made by licenciado Lourenço Dinis de Ataíde in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual obligation of one mass sung every week, always on Thursdays in the convent of S. António of Crato where his body and the body of his wife, Isabel de Abreu Rosa, should be buried. A vault should be placed over their grave containing their names on it. He named his wife as first administrator of the entail, with the condition that she would care and sustain his brother Fernando Fontes, who was mentally ill. After her death, the administration would be handled to Paulo Morais and from there on the succession would continue on his eldest heirs, who would be obliged to bare the surname "Dinis" or, otherwise, lose the administration. The institutor also disposed that on the anniversary of his death the administrators should dress two poor boys and distribute ten alqueires of bread among the poor people.
