Will

Will by which D. Francisca de Mendonça de Vasconcelos expresses her wish to be buried in the chancel of the church of the convent of Santo António de Lisboa, where her husband, chanceler-mor Damião de Aguiar, and her children are buried. She entails the remaining part of her third part as a chapel and bequeaths it to her grandson, Luís da Cunha de Ataíde, with the obligation of ordering a daily mass for her and her husband's souls in a place of his choice. The entail will pass to his successors with the same conditions as the entail of Torre das Vidigueiras, founded by her ancestors. She includes in her entail the houses in Rua da Anunciada which she and her husband had bequeathed as a dowry and entail to their deceased daughter, D. Antónia, Luís' mother, when she married Tristão da Cunha. She also bequeaths her grandson and his descendants her chapel in the chancel of Santo António de Lisboa.
Followed by an addition, dated 1640-08-27, and by the approval and opening deeds of the will.
