Annexation deed

Annexation deed by which Francisca Fernandes, widow of Belchior Álvares, fulfilled her late husband's will. Belchior Álvares made a will in which he declared the intention of instituting a chapel. But, as he died without his will being approved, his intentions were considered of null legal validity. Nevertheless, with the consentment of the judge of the Órfãos of Évora, city where Belchior died, Francisca Fernandes instituted the entail, to which she annexed several properties. The chapel had the obligation of 4 annual masses in São Miguel de Facha, and the administrator should be one of Belchior Álvares' nieces. Francisca Fernandes also granted Gaspar Álvares, priest in São Miguel de Facha, the power to appoint the chapel's administrator.
