Dowry deed

Dowry deed by which D. Antónia de Siqueira, widow of António Gonçalves de Sequeira, endowed her nephew Francisco de Siqueira Pestana and her niece Maria de Siqueira on the occasion of their marriage with all of her assets, including properties in Arronches, which would henceforth be entailed with a perpetual pious obligation of 70 masses celebrated every year. She appointed the future couple to become the first administrators of that entail. After their deaths, they would be succeeded by their eldest son. If they left no descendants, the administration would be handled to Leonor de Siqueira, niece of the institutor with the same conditions, or to Gonçalo, her nephew. The institutor disposed that all administrators would be obliged to give two alqueires of bread to the Misericórdia of Arronches for charity and distribution among the poor people, being institution obligated to issue a written acquittance to prove they had done so.
