Will made by Estêvão Lopes, in which he ordered the foundation of an entail. The institutor named his nephew licenciado Fernando Aires de Almeida as first administrator during his lifetime and, after his death, the succession should continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. All administrators would be obliged to spend 2.000 réis in masses in every year for the institutor's soul in nine specific days. He also disposed that the eldest son of all administrators would be obliged to obtain an academic degree in a course of his own choice, and if the eldest heir did not wished to, or shown no habilities for this purpose, the second born son should fulfill this obligation. This entail is composed of lands, houses, olive groves and vineyards in Portalegre and its outskirts.
