Will

Will of Gonçalo Pimenta and his wife Isabel da Costa. Both state that their bodies should be buried in the chapel of São Gonçalo, which the couple had previously built. They decided to found a chapel, entailing estates to that effect. The chapel had the perpetual obligation of celebrating a weekly mass, along with other masses celebrated on certain days of the year. The first administrator of the chapel would be their first-born son, according to the same rules that applied to the chapel founded by Gonçalo Afonso Vieira, Gonçalo's grandfather, known as the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Ponte, in Ponte da Barca. The present will should be registered in the "Registo das capelas dos Resíduos de Braga". The succession was to pass to the first-born sons, excluding illegitimate children and people who had committed lese-majeste crimes.

Followed by the approval deed (1626-05-13, fls. 57-57v).
