The first entail would be composed of an estate in the district of Crato named Herdade de Rui de Castro over which the institutor imposed a perpetual pious obligation of thirty masses celebrated every year, and to administrate it she named Diogo Forjaz de Sande until his daughter Catarina comes of age, and then the administration would be handed to her during her lifetime and, after her death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. The second chapel would be composed of some houses and a leased vineyard, over which the institutor also imposed a perpetual pious obligation of thirty masses celebrated every year, and to administrate it she named her niece Maria Velez during her lifetime and, after her death, the succession should always continue on her descendants.
