Will

Will made by Álvaro Semedo in which he ordered the foundation of an entail composed of a land over which he imposed a perpetual pious obligation of two masses celebrated every year on the mother church of Nisa. To administrate it he named his daughter Violante Álvares during her lifetime and, after her death, she would be succeeded by her son Fernando Gomes, grandson of the institutor, and after his death the administration would be handled to his sister Catarina de Semedo, and, after her death to Catarina Vaz and from there on the succession should always continue in one of his grandsons, preferably, on the eldest male heir, with the same conditions. He ordered the will to be recorded on the Tombo record books of the Provedoria for the account of the masses.
