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 this conditions, dated 1626-07-08 and a dispatch ordering it, dated 1626-11-13.

Certificate of account of the administration of the chapel of Maria de Almada, in which her will is inserted.

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. Maria de Almada established a chapel and entail with all of her properties. She bequeathed them to Jerónimo Correia de Almada, son of Jorge Carreiro de Almada, and to his descendants, with an obligation of 41 masses in the convent of S. Francisco of Lisboa. She appointed Jorge Carreiro de Almada as her executor, but he died before he could present the money of the institutor. All that was left were houses in rua dos Escudeiros, Lisboa, already entailed to the chapel of Catarina da Silva, of which Jerónimo Correia de Almada was administrator.
As D. Branca was heir of both these chapels, her mother, D. Beatriz de Freitas, requested that part of the revenue of the houses already entailed to Catarina da Silva's chapel be used to pay for the chapel established by Maria de Almada. This request was, ultimately, accepted.
Contains sentence dated 1626-03-16 and other processual documentation, including two dispatches, dated 1623-08-04 and 1626-11-13, a petition, a termo de juramento and acceptance deeds.
