Will

Will by which Leonor Alcoforado, donzela, expresses her wish to be buried in the main church of Nisa. She establishes an entail composed of all the remaining assets of her own reserved portion over which she imposed a perpetual obligation of six annual masses. She names her nephew Nicolau Pereira as first administrator during his lifetime, and, after his death, he would be succeeded by António, nephew of the institutor, and his eldest male heirs after him, or, if he died without heirs or became a clergyman, then the administration would be handled to Diogo Dias Galeano and his children after him, and, from there on, the closest relative, with the condition that the administration would not leave the lineage of the Alcoforados.

Alcoforado, Leonor (d.1679)
