Will

Will by which Diogo Fernandes da Rocha expresses his wish to be buried in the chapel of Rainha Santa in the convent of Nossa Senhora de Jesus of Lisboa. He establishes two entails for his children with pious obligations in his chapel. One with his third part and two public debt instruments in the Alfândega de Lisboa, which he bequeaths his son, António da Torre da Rocha, and his successors, with an obligation of a daily mass for his soul and half an annual of masses for the soul of his deceased wife, Isabel da Guarda. The other with the third part of his wife, Isabel da Guarda, and another public debt instrument, which he bequeaths his daughter, Maria da Rocha, and her successors, with an obligation of weekly masses for the soul of his brother-in-law, Francisco Lopes.
If the lineage of one of his children is extinguished, the entail shall pass to the surviving one. If both lineages are extinguished, the succession of the entail shall be chosen by appointment from them on.

Rocha, Diogo Fernandes da (flor.1645)

Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Francisco Lopes bequeaths to an unidentified heir his store in Lisboa, with an obligation of ordering a weekly mass for his soul and an annual divine office in a place of his choice. If the store is sold, the revenue from the sale ought to be used to buy a public debt instrument or other properties with the same revenue to entail in its place. His heir can appoint the next administrator.
