Will

Will made by Leonor Delicado in which she bequeathed all her assets to the Society of Jesus with the condition that they should stablish a college in Castelo de Vide. However, if the Society did not accept these conditions, she orders the foundation of two entails.
The first entail would be composed of all the root assets the institutor owned in Castelo de Vide, over which she imposed a perpetual pious obligation of three masses celebrated every year, and to administrate it, she named her nephew padre Diogo Afonso Tarouca during his lifetime. After the death of Diogo, the administration would be handled to Francisco Fernandes Tarouca, nephew of the institutor, and from there on the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest female heir. Just like the first entail, all administrators of this second entail should bare the surname "Tarouca", keep a record book for the registration of the masses that should be checked by the Misericórdia of Castelo de Vide, in every year, and they would be also obliged to annex one property worth 30.000 réis to the entail.
The second entail would be composed of a farm she owned in Alpalhão, over which she imposed a perpetual pious obligation of two masses celebrated every year, and to administrate it she named her nephew padre Manuel Delicado during his lifetime. After the death of Manuel, he would be succeeded by Maria Gomes Delicada, niece of the institutor, and from there on the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest female daughter. All administrators of this first entail should bare the surname "Delicado", keep a record book for the registration of the masses that should be checked by the Misericórdia of Alpalhão, in every year, and they would be also obliged to annex one property worth 30.000 réis to the entail.
The administrators of both entails should give 10.000 réis to the chaplain of N. Sra. da Vitória's hermitage, founded by the institutor and her husband António Mouzinho Galeano, to fullfill the perpetual pious obligation they imposed of two masses celebrated in every week, on Saturdays and Sundays.
