Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Clara Tomé ordered that a perpetual daily mass should be celebrated for his soul and for the soul of her late husband, Francisco de Lacrona, in the chapel of Santa Catarina of the church of Nossa Senhora do Loreto, as well as other annual masses in honour of its patron saint. Every day, the masses should be attended by two women ("merceeiras"), who would be responsible for praying over the graves of the couple, sprinkling holy water. A public debt instrument of 100 000 réis had to be bought to support the pious obligations and delivered to Jorge Unselt [?], administrator of her chapel. He would have the power to appoint a chaplain and to choose the two women who would pray for her soul. The chapel's administrator had also the obligation to maintain perpetually alight a candle in that space. The testators' husband had established another chapel, leaving its administration to the Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Lisboa.
