Dowry deed

Dowry deed by which Gaspar Coelho, Cavaleiro da Ordem de Cristo, and Catarina de Arvelos, his sister, donate part of a farmstead in Olivais ("quinta da Bela Vista") and houses in Rua das Parreiras, Lisboa, to D. Helena de Andrade, Gaspar's daughter and Catarina's niece, in order to support her marriage to João de Alpoim de Brito. The groom, the bride and their descendants are henceforth obligated to sustain the celebration of 12 annual masses for Catarina de Arvelos' soul in the convent of Nossa Senhora do Carmo of that city. Furthermore, the father of the bride gives the couple the captaincy of a carrack of Carreira da Índia, which the King had granted him 30 years before that date.
D. Helena de Andrade and João de Alpoim de Brito give their consent to this deed. Contains a copy of a letter of attorney issued on 1613-05-25.
