Documents produced by the entail.

Juízo dos Resíduos record of the entail instituted by Francisco Babo.

Will of Francisco Babo. The testator outlines the different burial options depending on where he died: if he died in Braga, his body was to be buried in the Cathedral; if he died in Porto, he was to be buried in the Cathedral, next to his father Rui Babo; if he died at his estate in Carude, he was to be buried in the Church of São Mamede de Escariz, next to his son Baltasar Babo. Francisco appointed his nephew Jorge Babo as his universal heir, stating that all his possessions were to be entailed in perpetuity. The holders of the entail were obliged to ensure the celebration of 12 annual masses in the church of São Mamede de Escariz, for the benefit of the soul of the founder and the soul of his deceased son Baltasar. They were also obliged to use the family name of Babo. The first-born son would have priority in the succession, and women and illegitimate children were always excluded from the administration.

Followed by the approval deed (1553-08-27, fls. 61-62).
