Documents produced by the entail.

Will (extract) made by Manuel Fidalgo da Costa and his wife Beatriz da Veiga Spínola, in which they have ordered the foundation of an entail with their lands in Covada, with a perpetual pious obligation of two sung masses, as long as the world lasted, with bread and wine offer over their graves in All Souls Day. They named padre Florêncio da Veiga Escórcio to administrate the entail during his lifetime, and, after his death, the administration would be handled to Helena, his natural daughter. From there on, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest heir. They also asked the Cabido to surveil the fulfillment of this will.
