Court sentence

Court sentence confirming the entailment of houses in Lisboa and an olive grove in Carnide to Maria de Mesquita's chapel, approving the motion and exempting the plaintiff, João Carreira, of selling the entailed assets.

Carreira, João (flor.1640)

Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Maria de Mesquita bequeaths to her nephew, António Carreira, sapateiro, houses that she owns in Rua da Atalaia and an olive grove in Carnide, determining that he and his descendants should support the celebration of a weekly mass for her soul in the altar of Cruz of the convent of Nossa Senhora do Carmo of Lisboa. If that pious obligation could not be associated to those properties, he is allowed to sell them and to buy other assets to incorporate in the entail.

Mesquita, Maria de (flor.1583)
