Approval deed of a will (extract) in which D. Helena Bota, testator, declares that her son, Pedro Gomes de Abreu, had ordered in his will that a daily mass should be prayed in their chapel in the monastery of Santíssima Trindade if the king gave him the office of escrivão da Fazenda. The mass won't be prayed if he doesn't receive it.

Bond by which D. Antónia de Vasconcelos, defendant, mother of Gaspar de Abreu, fidalgo da Casa do Rei and escrivão do Conselho de sua Fazenda, entails her farmstead near the monastery of S. Bento da Saúde, Lisboa, to the daily mass D. Helena Bota had established in her chapel of Santo Onofre of the monastery of Santíssima Trindade, according to a declaration made in the approval deed of her will.

Documents produced by the entail.

Sentence judging the farmstead near S. Bento entailed to the obligation of a daily mass established by D. Helena Bota.

Termo de declaração by which D. Antónia de Vasconcelos, defendant, declares she wasn't the heir of D. Helena Bota, mother of Pedro Gomes de Abreu and Sebastião de Abreu, her husband. Since Pedro Gomes de Abreu had died without making a will, all of his properties had been given to his brother, Sebastião, also deceased. She declares she doesn't know which of those properties had belonged to D. Helena, since many of them had been sold by her husband, but she knows that Pedro Gomes de Abreu had received the office of escrivão da Fazenda, which had previously belonged to his father, Gaspar Rebelo de Abreu.

Will by which Gaspar Rebelo de Abreu declares he had acquired the chapel of Santo Onofre from the priests of the monastery of Santíssima Trindade of Lisboa, where he and his wife wished to be buried, and that they had established a daily mass for their souls, entailed to a public debt instrument in the Alfândega of Lisboa. He and his wife bequeath part of their third parts to their eldest son, Pedro Gomes de Abreu, to buy another public debt instrument which shall be applied to the chapel. Gaspar Rebelo de Abreu declares he is claimant in a conflict over the possession of the entail of Cata-que-Farás, which he hopes his eldest son will win. If he inherits this entail, the public debt instrument shall be annexed to it, and the masses of that entail, which were prayed in the church of Conceição, must be changed to the chapel of Santo Onofre. If he doesn't inherit the entail, the chapel and public debt instrument shall pass to his successors regardless. Helena Bota is present and signs the will, authorizing its clauses.
