Bond by which D. Branca, minor, daughter of Jerónimo Correia de Almada and D. Beatriz de Freitas, her tutor, promises to pay the obligations of Maria de Almada's chapel, of which she is the administrator, using revenue from the houses already entailed to the chapel of Catarina da Silva, in the convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa.
Maria de Almada established a chapel and entail with all of her properties. She bequeathed them to Jerónimo Correia de Almada, who was also administrator of the chapel established by Catarina da Silva. As D. Branca was heir of both these chapels, her mother, D. Beatriz de Freitas, requested that part of the revenue of the houses entailed to Catarina da Silva's chapel be used to pay for the chapel established by Maria de Almada. This request was, ultimately, accepted.

Documents produced by the entail.

Court proceedings judging the autos between Paulo Soares, procurador das capelas, and D. Beatriz de Freitas, widow of Jerónimo Correia de Almada, and tutor of their daughter and heir, D. Branca. Paulo Soares had requested D. Beatriz to present the money she was owing from the houses entailed to the chapel of D. Catarina da Silva. These houses been inherited by Jerónimo Correia de Almada from his mother, D. Luísa da Gama, wife of Jorge Carreiro de Almada. D. Beatriz had answered that she didn't have to present that money, as she hadn't owed it, and instead it had been D. Catarina da Silva who owed it to Jorge Carreiro de Almada. As it had been proposed that the houses of D. Catarina da Silva should be sold to pay for this debt, which wasn't allowed as they were entailed, she requests that they should instead be also entailed to the chapel of Maria de Almada, to pay the debt, as both chapels were administrated by her daughter, D. Branca. Contains a petition demanding a bond to be written with these conditions, dated 1626-07-08 and a dispatch ordering it, dated 1626-11-13.
