Will (extract) in which Justa Vaz’s brother establishes entails for his children: Duarte, Martinho and Isabel de Castro do Rio, some of which are funded by money left by his sister. He declares that Justa Vaz appointed him as her universal heir, giving him the usufruct of her assets, during his lifetime, and ordering him to transmit them to one of his children or to divide them among them, forming entails. From the money she left, he thus bequeaths 12 000 cruzados to his son Duarte de Castro do Rio and 8 000 cruzados to this daughter Isabel, to found two entails. If their lineages are extinguished these entails shall be annexed to the entail he founded for his eldest son, Martinho de Castro do Rio, with the same conditions. He also bequeaths 40 000 cruzados to Martinho de Castro do Rio, which shall be annexed to the entail he founded for him. Martinho de Castro do Rio must also buy properties to entail to the obligation of masses established in Justa Vaz's codicil, which shall be administered by the successors of his entail.

Will of Duarte de Castro Rio, made before his execution for treason at the orders of D. António, prior of Crato. He orders his burial in the church of S. Francisco of Angra, and to be transfered, when the war is over, to the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Conceição of the convent of S. Francisco of Lisboa, established by his father, Diogo de Castro Rio. He establishes an obligation of one daily mass for his soul, for which he bequeaths his heirs 20 000 reis of interest in the Casa do Pescado. He also requests that his wife and children don't lose their honours and privileges even though he has been sentenced to death, and that his servants be treated with clemency. He requests masses to be prayed on his burial day in the Cathedral and in the Misericórdia of Angra, and in the monasteries of Esperança and S. Gonçalo, and in several churches in Lisboa. He appoints his wife, D. Joana de Vilaruel, as his universal heir, executor of his will, and administrator of his properties, and his brother Martinho de Castro do Rio, and his brother-in-law, D. Jorge de Meneses, as his will's executors and tutors of his sons, together with his wife. He requests his son, Diogo, to always obey his mother and uncles, and his wife to make his daughters enter the religious state. He also requests his wife to take the third part of her assets to build an hermitage dedicated to Our Lady of Monserrate in their farmstead in Oeiras, with the obligation of one annual divine office and three masses in honour of the Holy Trinity, for which he bequeaths her 4 000 reis of interest, and asks that she obtains indulgences for it from the Holy See.

Sentence by which António Nunes Leite, provedor das Capelas, accepts the renunciation of Diogo de Castro do Rio, son of Duarte de Castro do Rio, to the administration of the chapel established by his father in the convent of S. Francisco of Lisboa. He authorizes the syndic of that convent to charge the 20 000 réis of interest in the Casa do Pescado that had been entailed to that chapel, in order to continue the obligation of masses established by the institutor. Diogo de Castro do Rio renounces this administration because no one else will accept it.
