Subrogation deed

Subrogation deed by which Afonso Lopes, mercador de vinhos, and his wife, Antónia Barreiros, use a fraction of the value of the third part of Diogo Barreiro's assets, 160 000 réis, to buy vineyards and houses in Almada to entail to Isabel de Soveral and Jorge Barreiros' chapel, which they administrate. It is mentioned that, after Diogo Barreiros' death, they took legal action against Maria Nunes, Diogo's widow, since they had considered that the deceased had unlawfully left the third part of his assets to his wife and chose an administrator which was not his closest relative, disrespecting the clauses defined by the entail's institutors. Maria Nunes decided to put an end to the litigation and, in 1647-02-19, the conflicting parties reached an agreement: they would be given the assets left by Diogo Barreiros to his widow and, in turn, would buy a property to be incorporated in the entail and cost the making of an altarpiece to be placed in the chapel of Anjo S. Miguel in the church of S. João da Praça of Lisboa.

After Isabel Lopes' death, the entail should be inherited by Diogo Barreiros, the testator's grandson, and subsequently passed to his eldest son. Each administrator of the entail are obligated to add to it the third part of their assets and masses to the ones celebrated for the souls of the institutors.

Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Isabel Lopes, Jorge Barreiros' widow, bequeaths the third part of her assets to Jorge Barreiros, her son. She forgives Diogo Barreiros a debt of 52 000 réis on the condition that he must buy a property to entail to the chapel established by his grandparents, Isabel de Soveral and Jorge Barreiros, and use its revenues to support the celebration of 3 annual masses for the testator's soul in the church of S. João da Praça. She declares that her body must be buried inside the chapel of Fiéis de Deus, next to her husband. If her remains could not be deposited there, the request made to Diogo Barreiros becomes void and her son is obligated to establish an entail with a property and to use its revenues to celebrate annual masses in the chapel of Nossa Senhora-a-Franca of the church of S. Tiago for her soul.

Lopes, Isabel (flor.1614)

Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Diogo Barreiros bequeaths the third part of his assets to Maria Nunes, his wife, obligating her to celebrate annual masses for her soul in the church of S. João da Praça of Lisboa, only during her lifetime. After her death, those assets must be entailed to the chapel established by Isabel de Soveral and Jorge Barreiros, his grandparents, which shall be administrated by Jorge Barreiros, son of the institutor and of Isabel Lopes. He declares that, when his grandmother established the entail, she did so without defining which way it should be administrated and who should inherit it. Subsequently, the King D. Henrique allowed Jorge Barreiros, her widower, to establish how the entail's succession should proceed from then on.
