Certificate of a partition deed (extract) and court sentence

Certificate of a partition deed (extract) and court sentence issued at the request of Fernando Pinto, tutor and attorney of Francisco de Castro, minor, successor of the entail of Vidigal, founded by his grandmother and formerly administered by his father, Nicolau de Castro. Fernando Pinto had appealed of the partitions made after Nicolau de Castro's death, since the houses in Lisboa chosen to be annexed to the entail were too far away from its main estate, in Montemor-o-Novo.

Castro, Francisco de (flor.1573)

Court sentence

Court sentence annexing to the entail of Vigidal a lease of 70 alqueires in Montemor-o-Novo, and ordering the sale of the houses in Lisboa which had belonged to its former administrator, Nicolau de Castro, so the revenue of the sale could be employed in their place.

Declaration deed

Declaration deed by which Joana da Cunha confirms the dispositions of her entail foundation deed, and clarifies that all of her son's children, legitimate or illegitimate, can inherit this entail, regardless of the dispositions she made about legitimacy for future successors. If Nicolau de Castro dies without successors, the entail shall pass to his brother, João da Cunha, and to his descendants, even if they are illegitimate. Nicolau de Castro is present and accepts these conditions, which he promises to fulfil.

Entail foundation deed

Entail foundation deed by which Joana da Cunha, widow of António de Castro, fidalgo da Casa do Rei, revokes a previous will she had made with her husband, in which they had annexed their third parts to the entail of the estate of Carvalhal, which António de Castro had inherited from his grandmother. She declares she has annexed only the third part of her husband to that entail, and has given it to their eldest son, Cristóvão de Castro, as had been accorded. She establishes a new entail with her third part, consisting of the estates of Vidigal and Cuncos, in Montemor-o-Novo, and gives it to her other son, Nicolau de Castro, fidalgo da Casa do Rei, to always be in his lineage. She also annexes to it the legitimes of her two surviving daughters, Isabel and Jerónima do Presépio, nuns in the monastery of S. Salvador of Lisboa. The administrators of the entail shall have the obligation of ordering a daily mass and an annual one either in the church of Santa Maria of Montemor-o-Novo or in the monastery of S. Salvador of Lisboa. She donates the entail to her son, reserving for herself the usufruct of its properties during her lifetime.
