Will of Duarte de Castro do Rio, made before his execution for treason at the orders of D. António, prior of Crato. He orders his burial in the church of S. Francisco of Angra, and to be transfered, when the war is over, to the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Conceição of the convent of S. Francisco of Lisboa, established by his father, Diogo de Castro Rio. He establishes an obligation of one daily mass for his soul, for which he bequeaths his heirs 20 000 reis of interest in the Casa do Pescado. He also requests that his wife and children don't lose their honours and privileges even though he has been sentenced to death, and that his servants be treated with clemency. He requests masses to be prayed on his burial day in the Cathedral and in the Misericórdia of Angra, and in the monasteries of Esperança and S. Gonçalo, and in several churches in Lisboa. He appoints his wife, D. Joana de Vilaruel, as his universal heir, executor of his will, and administrator of his properties, and his brother Martinho de Castro do Rio, and his brother-in-law, D. Jorge de Meneses, as his will's executors and tutors of his sons, together with his wife. He requests his son, Diogo, to always obey his mother and uncles, and his wife to make his daughters enter the religious state. He also requests his wife to take the third part of her assets to build an hermitage dedicated to Our Lady of Monserrate in their farmstead in Oeiras, with the obligation of one annual divine office and three masses in honour of the Holy Trinity, for which he bequeaths her 4 000 reis of interest, and asks that she obtains indulgences for it from the Holy See.
