Documents produced by the entail.

Will (extract) in which Pedro Varela entails his houses and properties in Setúbal and bequeaths them to his nephew Miguel Leite Ferreira as dowry for his marriage to D. Leonor de Távora. Miguel Leite is obliged to give 5 000 réis annually to the priests of the convent of Nossa Senhora do Carmo de Lisboa for the fulfilment of perpetual pious charges for his uncle’s soul and other family members. If the testator is buried in another place before being transferred to this convent, in the meantime, the amount paid and the celebrations established should take place at that location.
Pedro Varela also requires that his nephew assures the fulfilment of pious charges for the soul of his first wife Isabel de Paiva Estocha Serrão, who is buried in the convent of Nossa Senhora do Carmo de Lisboa, and for her family members.
After Miguel Leite’s death, his second son Pedro Varela should succeed in the administration of the entail and then it should pass consecutively to the eldest sons. The testator details the conditions and alternatives for succession.
