Will

Will made in Portalegre by Ana de Miranda, in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of four entails. The first entail would be composed of a vineyard in the outskirts of Portalegre over which she imposed a perpetual obligation of three masses celebrated every year at Christmas, naming the eldest daughter of Catarina Delicada, who lived in Castelo de Vide, as first administrator during her lifetime, and, after her death, the succession should always continue on the closest relative of the Crato's lineage. The second entail would be composed of a land and a mill in the outskirts of Crato over which she imposed a perpetual obligation of two masses celebrated every year, naming her nephew Tomé da Silveira as first administrator, and, after his death the succession should always continue on the closest relative of the Crato's lineage. The third entail would be composed of a land over which the institutor imposed a perpetual obligation of one masses celebrated every year, and this would be administrated by her nephew padre Manuel Velez who would be succeeded by the closest relative of the Velez' lineage. Finally, this fourth entail would be composed of an estate named Herdade da Urra, over which she imposed a perpetual obligation of seven masses celebrated every year, and to administrate it she named her nephew Estêvão de Miranda, who would be succeeded by the closest relative of the Velez' lineage. All four entails would follow the succession patterns defined by the laws of the kingdom.
