Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Mécia Fernandes leaves houses in Beco do Lagar do Mel, Lisboa, to her criado, Rodrigo, determining that him and his descendants had to celebrate 5 annual masses for her soul in the church of S. Miguel of Alfama. Those houses could never be sold. If Rodrigo did not produce a child, the entailed property would be added to the entail administrated by Jorge Lopes.
The testator bequeathed lands (casa) in Valejas, outskirts of Lisboa, to Jorge Lopes, obligating him and his successors to support the celebration of 10 annual masses for her soul and the soul of her sister, Leonor Fernandes, in the churches of S. Miguel and S. Pedro of Alfama. The properties could never be sold or exchanged for others. Jorge Lopes had to appoint the entail's next administrator or, if he died before doing it, to transmit it to his eldest son.

Fernandes, Mécia (flor.1557)
