Certificate of a will (extract) made by Maria de Alverca. It was issued by António Correia da Silva, escrivão da Provedoria das Capelas, at the request of Miguel Jorge, administrator of Maria de Alverca's chapel. The institutor's will was already described in VINC005877 MAFF EA/001.

Will

Will by which Maria de Alverca bequeaths houses in Lisboa to Francisco Ferreira, her criado, obligating him to light a torch in the chapel of Santíssimo Sacramento of the church of the convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa, every Holy Thursday. For the first two years after her death, the houses should be delivered to the executors of her will, who would employ its revenues to fulfil her legacies. If Francisco leaves no descendants, this entail should be transmitted to Briolanja de Lemos.
Maria also establishes another entail with houses in Lisboa, whose revenues should support the celebration of 107 annual masses for her soul in that church. She appoints Francisco Figueira de Azevedo to be its first administrator.
Maria declares that her body should be buried inside that church, next to the chapel of Jesus.
