Cristóvão Vaz Pinto, Violante Henriques da Penha entail

Will chart

Will chart by which Violante Henriques da Penha determined that, after her death, 3 weekly masses should be celebrated, every year, for her soul in the chapel she and her husband, Cristóvão Vaz Pinto, had in the convent of Nossa Senhora da Anunciada of Lisboa. That pious obligation would be fulfilled up until the time her husband ordered the celebration of a daily perpetual mass for their souls. She designated him to be her universal heir. The testator also founded an entail, incorporating in it the remaining of the third part of her assets and rents (foros) extracted from lands (casais) in Nossa Senhora do Monte, outskirts of Almada. She appointed her son, Duarte Vaz Pinto, to administrate it, ordering him to pass it to his eldest son or, if he left no offspring, to his eldest sister, Branca Pinto. Her body would be buried in that chapel. Followed by an approval deed issued on 1608-10-26 and an opening deed dated 1610-10-10.
