Documents produced by the entail.

Will by which D. Beatriz de Sá Pereira, D. Garcia de Castro's wife, declared that the entail established by her grandmother, D. Beatriz de Melo, which she administered, should be passed to João de Almada, her cousin, since she had no descendants. It is mentioned that the entail was composed of lands (herdades) in Viana do Alvito and that its administrators were obligated to fulfil pious obligations in the church of the convent of S. Francisco of Évora.
The testator states that she administrated a chapel in the church of Nossa Senhora do Loreto, which had been transmitted to her by her father. A farm (fazenda) in Ilha de S. Tomé and a farmstead (quinta) in Catujal were entailed to it and its administrators were obligated to support the celebration of a perpetual daily mass and to adorn the chapel. Whoever succeeded her in its administration would receive a list of the ornaments.
Furthermore, D. Beatriz de Sá Pereira instructed the executors of her will to buy a public debt instrument, whose revenues would be used to celebrate annual masses for her soul in the church of the convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa. She demanded that her remains should be buried inside the chapter house of that convent. Followed by an approval deed issued on 1609-11-17 and an opening deed issued on 1609-11-20.
