Court sentence

Court sentence excluding António Álvares de Paiva, the defendant, from the succession of the entails of Evangelho and Paiva and confirming that António de Sá de Castro, the plaintiff, was its rightful administrator. Although Mariana Álvares de Paiva, the defendant's mother, was known as the niece of the last administrator of both of the entails, João Álvares de Paiva, it had been discovered that Mariana's supposed mother, Violante Soares, João's sister-in-law, faked her pregnancy and was not her real mother.

Will

Will of Fernando Martins Evangelho, o Moço, by which he expresses his wish to be buried in the convent of S. Francisco of Lisboa, in the chapel he built. He appoints his natural son, Afonso Martins Evangelho, legitimized by king D. Afonso V, as his universal heir. He also bequeaths him and his descendants an entail of his properties, with the obligation of a daily mass and five sung masses in the convent of S. Francisco of Lisboa, and two annual masses in the church of Atouguia da Baleia, where his parents were buried. If his lineage is extinguished, the administrator of the entail shall be chosen by the merchants of the confrarias of Sto. Espírito and S. Francisco of Lisboa. He also makes a donation to a supposed natural daughter, named Violante, for her marriage, even though it was against his will.
Followed by notices dated between 1851 and 1853 mentioning the subrogation of properties belonging to this entail.
