Will chart

Will chart by which Cristóvão Lopes founded an entail, incorporating his farmstead (quinta) of Belmonte, in the outskirts of Lisboa, and his houses in Lisboa, with the pious obligation of celebrating 20 annual masses (10 for each property), in the chapels of Jesus and Nossa Senhora do Rosário, in the Convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa. Joana de Sousa, his wife, was asked to administer the entail until Francisco de Sousa, Cristóvão's grandson, turned 25 years old and was allowed to take control of it. If Francisco died before that age, or without offspring, the entail should pass to Isabel de Sousa, Joana's daughter and Cristóvão's stepdaughter. He also bequeaths to his grandson a farmstead (quinta) located in Vale do Alcaide, which the testator had bought with the obligation of supporting the celebration of 12 annual masses in the church of S. Cristóvão, in Lisboa. The testator mentions that, at the time of death of D. João III, he was painting the altarpieces of the monastery of Alcobaça and of Évora's cathedral. Followed by an approval deed issued on 1593-12-09, and an opening deed issued on 1593-12-23.

Will (extract)

Extract of António Pereira's will, by which he bequeathed half of his houses in Lisboa to his niece, Ana Correia, with the pious obligation of 5 annual masses to be celebrated in the convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa. Those were added to the pious charges already associated to that property, previously instituted by Cristóvão Lopes. António mentions that he bought those houses with the obligation of fulfilling those charges. If António died before his wife, the property should be inherited by her.
