Will made by Helena Martins, in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of two entails. The first entail would be composed of some houses in Portalegre and would be administrated by her brother João Martins Neto, with the sole condition that he and all his successors would give six candles to N. Sra. dos Remédios and S. Francisco every year, as long as the world lasted. After the death of João, the administration would be handled to his son Francisco Ribeiro and his descendants with the same condition. This second entail would be composed of other houses, vineyard and olive grove in Portalegre, would have a perpetual obligation of thirteen masses celebrated every year. To administrate it, Helena Martins named her sister Isabel Ribeira and her daughter Beatriz after her death, and from there on the succession should continue on the eldest heir. If Beatriz died without children, the administration would be handled to her sister Isabel Ribeira, with the same conditions, or, alternatively, to her brother José and his descendants.
