Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Leonor Francesa declares she had bequeathed her nephew, Duarte de Castro, son of her sister Beatriz Vaz, her farmstead in Oeiras and her houses in Lisboa, as an entail, with an obligation of marrying two orphans every year and ordering two divine offices annually in the monastery of Santíssima Trindade of Lisboa, one for her soul and the other for the soul of her sister Joana Francesa. She had made this donation as an entail in a deed dated 1566-05-22. As her nephew had died, she afterwards donated her entail to Duarte's son, Diogo de Castro, when he was still minor, in 1583-08-11. She confirms this donation and declares that the entail shall pass to his descendants with the same obligation of masses.

Francesa, Leonor (flor.1593)
