Will

Will made by António Vaz Caldeira, in which he ordered the foundation of four entails. The first would be composed of some houses in Alpalhão, over which he imposed a perpetual obligation of one mass celebrated every year, and to administrate it he named his niece Maria, daughter of Gregório de Abreu, and her descendants after her, or, if she had no children, she would be succeeded by her brother António Mourato. The second entail would be composed of a land in the outskirts of Alpalhão, over which he imposed a perpetual obligation of two masses celebrated every year, and to administrate it he named his nephew Brás Martins Caldeira and his descendants after him. The third entail would be composed of a land in the outskirts of Gafete, over which he imposed a perpetual obligation of two masses celebrated every year, and to administrate it he named his nephew António Mourato and his descendants after him. The fourth entail would be composed of a land in the outskirts of Alpalhão, over which he imposed a perpetual obligation of two masses celebrated every year, and to administrate it he named his nephew António de Abreu and his descendants after him. If the lineage of any of those administrators became extinguished then the Confraria das Santas Chagas de Alpalhão would receive the administration of the entail. No administrator of the four chapels could ever marry with another person of jewish, moorish, mulato or new-christian ascendency.
