Acórdão em Relação (transcription)

Acórdão em Relação (transcription) judging the chapel of D. Leonor da Costa, in the convent of S. Francisco of Lisboa and composed of a farmstead in Caparica, as not vacant to the Crown and absolving D. Isabel de Gamboa, defendant, from the requested by Manuel Guedes Pereira, plaintiff, who denounced the chapel as vacant and received a royal grace warrant of administration. It declares D. Isabel de Gamboa as the chapel's rightful successor, because she is cousin of the last administrators, D. Isabel da Costa and D. Francisca da Costa, sisters and successors of Frei Manuel Pacheco, and she is from the institutors bloodline. Although the chapel is from agnation, the women are only excluded if there is a male to succeed, which is not the case.
