Will

Will by which Inácio Vieira da Maia established an entail, appointing his second wife Joana Leitão to be its first administrator. She was due to order the celebration of masses in the Church of Nossa Senhora da Luz, in Lisboa. This entail is composed of "fornos de cal" located in Lisboa that his first wife Helena de Castro left to him. She established that he was due to order the celebration of masses for her soul in the Convent of Carmo, in Lisboa, and for his soul whenever he chose. Inácio Vieira da Maia is also the administrator of Camila Teles' chapel and Vianda Eanes Leonardes' chapel. He designates his wife as heir of the chapel of Camila Teles, and Filipe Vieira Pinto, his cousin, as administrator of the chapel of Vianda Eanes Leonardes.

Will

Will by which Helena de Castro expresses her wish of being buried at the convent of Nossa Senhora do Carmo de Lisboa, and appoints her husband, Inácio Vieira da Maia, as her universal heir. After Inácio’s death, the houses, which belonged to her aunt Luísa Bento, will be handed to her cousin, Bento Gonçalves de Sequeira, as a payment of a debt, and he must accomplish a set of pious charges for her aunt’s soul and for her own at the church of the Nossa Senhora dos Mártires or at the convent of Nossa Senhora do Carmo de Lisboa. After Bento’s death, these properties should pass to his children and their heirs with the same pious obligations and other conditions which are mentioned.
Helena de Castro also leaves to her husband five lime kilns with pious obligations for her soul at the convent of Nossa Senhora do Carmo de Lisboa, detailing all the conditions. After her husband’s death, at list half of these assets must be handed to the priests to ensure the perpetual pious charges she established.
It is followed by an approval deed (dated 1616-04-17) and a certificate of an opening deed of will (dated 1616-04-26).
