Opening deed of the will made by the deceased João Freire, in which he ordered the foundation of an entail.

Will by which João Freire, lavrador, expresses his wish to be buried in the church of S. Lourenço of Portalegre, at the foot of the main chapel. He establishes an entail composed of his fazenda da Pena with a perpetual obligation of five masses celebrated every year. The institutor named his brother-in-law Francisco Álvares de Almeida as first administrator of the entail during his lifetime, and, after his death, he would be succeeded by his son Francisco Álvares, and from there on the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir.
