Will chart

Will chart made by Pedro Barreto, Fidalgo da Casa do Rei, who was about to embark for Índia. He ordered the executor of his will to erect a chapel in his honour in the church of Santa Maria do Bispo of Montemor-o-Novo, devoted to Nossa Senhora da Conceição, where the remains of his parents and his body would be buried. He entailed to it all his assets and all the estate he would obtain in Índia, determining that its revenues would support the celebration of a perpetual daily mass. The testator appointed his wife, D. Francisca Henriques, to become its first administrator, obligating her to appoint a successor. If she or her descendants died without appointing the next administrator, the entail would be inherited by their closest relative. Since his wife was not yet old enough, the chapel would be administrated by her father, António de Miranda, until she reached the appropriate age. If the institutor was unable to gather any assets in Índia, or if they were lost in the voyage to Portugal, the chapel's institution would become null. Followed by an approval deed issued on 1508-03-17.
