Will

Will by which Maria Luís, João Fangueiro's widow, established a chapel, entailing to it the majority of her assets. She designated her niece, Maria Sardinha, Pedro Aires' daughter, to administrate it, obligating her and her descendants to support the celebration of 20 annual masses for her soul. After the death of the first administrator, the chapel would be transmitted to one of her children or, if she died without leaving offspring, to Duarte, Manuel Fernandes Magro's son. The testator also left half of an orchard and mills in Varche to her sister, Catarina Luís, Rui Gomes' wife, with the obligation that her or her heirs celebrated 10 masses in the cathedral of Elvas or in the church of S. Pedro. She declared that her body had to be buried in that church. Followed by an approval deed issued on 1633-08-22.
