Opening deed of a will

Opening deed of the will made by licenciado Rui Dias in which he named his son Pedro de Mesas to succeed him on the administration of the entail founded by his brother Fernando Vaz Mesas.

Will

Will made by Fernando Vaz Mesa, médico, in which he expressed his wish to be buried in the tomb of his parents, Pedro de Mesas and Joana Gomes, in the Misericórdia of Portalegre. He established an entail composed of his houses, a vineyard, olive groves and farmlands in Portalegre, with a perpetual obligation of five masses celebrated every year. He named his brother Rui Dias as first administrator during his lifetime and, after his death, he would appoint one of his sons to succeeded him, and from there on the succession should continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. He explicitly excluded administrators who had been formally charged of crimes of lese majeste, or were infamous, disobedient or rebel to the mandates of the Catholic church or of their own parents.
