Acórdão em relação (transcription) revoking the sentence by the desembargadores dos Agravos da Casa da Suplicação in favour of António Perestrelo, defendant, because his legitimation wasn't valid. He is ordered to return the properties of the entails of Brásia Nunes and D. Beatriz de Óbidos to Nuno Gonçalves Perestrelo, plaintiff, who was the rightful successor.

Acórdão (transcription) by the Desembargo confirming that the properties referred to in the previous sentence were indeed an entail and absolving the defendant, António Perestrelo, who is judged the rightful successor of Brásia Nunes' entail, since she hadn't expressly excluded natural children from the succession. The clause referring the illegitimate exclusion only concerns the ancestors and descendants and not the collateral relatives.

Court proceedings (partial) regarding the succession of the entails and chapel of D. Beatriz de Óbidos and Brásia Nunes.

Court sentence (transcription) judging Nuno Gonçalves Perestrelo, plaintiff, as the rightful successor of the entails of Brásia Nunes and her daughter, D. Beatriz de Óbidos, and condemning the defendant, António Perestrelo, to relinquish the properties entailed to them from then onwards. António Perestrelo had succeded to his father, João Lopes Perestrelo, but he confessed that he had no right to the entails because he was a natural son, although legitimated by the king, and was thus excluded from the succession according to the institutor's will.
D. Beatriz de Óbidos had received an entailed estate in Torrão from her mother, Brásia Nunes, as her dowry when she married Aires de Miranda de Figueiredo. She had, however, died before her mother, and bequeathed her an entail with an obligation of 5 000 réis of masses in the convent of S. Bento de Xabregas. After Brásia Nunes died, the entails had passed to Beatriz's son, Heitor de Miranda, and then to Beatriz's sister, Catarina Nunes, who bequeathed them to Maria da Costa. They then passed to João Lopes Perestrelo, uncle of the plaintiff and father of the defendant.

Bento de Xabregas, which she still wishes to be prayed.
