Documents produced by the entail.

Will made by padre Simão Rodrigues da Costa in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual pious obligation of ten masses celebrated every year on the Cathedral or on the Jesuit church of Portalegre, in the chapel that should be purchased for the burial of his body. The institutor named his nephew Francisco Reixa da Costa as first administrator during his lifetime and, after his death, he would appoint a successor to succeed him with the same conditions, preferably one of his male children or strictly blood relatives. He also bequeathed some properties to João Marques to sustain and pay for his studies with the condition that he would became a clergyman, and, after his death, those properties should be annexed to the chapel. The institutor ordered the first administrator to register this will and the entailed properties on the Tombo record books of the Provedoria of Portalegre.
