Will

Will by which Gonçalo Pacheco, cavaleiro da Casa do Rei, tesoureiro das coisas que pertencem ao além-mar em África, and Ana Dinis, his wife, establish an entail with the third part of their assets, including lands (herdades) in Atalaia and in the outskirts of Azambuja. They appoint the surviving spouse as the entail's first administrator, who should bequeath it to Madalena Pacheco, their daughter. They order their successors to support the celebration of annual masses in the chapel of S. João Baptista, in the church of the convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa, where their bodies should be buried. They also declare that the heir of their houses in Pedras Negras, Lisboa, shall order an anniversary in the church of S. Mamede, as the owners of these houses were ordered to. Followed by an approval deed issued on 1478-11-05 and an opening deed issued on 1479-11-10.

Pacheco, Gonçalo (d.1479)

Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which Fernando Pires de Andrade, administrator of Gonçalo Pacheco and Ana Dinis' entail, asks his son and successor, Lisuarte Pires, to give, each year, 8 000 réis to the convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa, in order to support the pious obligations linked to that entail and the celebration of a monthly mass for Fernando's soul. He also incorporates in that entail the third part of his assets, including the farmstead (quinta) of Cachoeiras, houses in Lisboa and a public debt instrument of 20 000 réis, which his sister gave to him. Part of the income extracted from that public debt instrument should sustain, each year and alternately, the marriage of orphan girls, the ransom of portuguese captives in Africa and the liberation of prisoners. He chooses to be buried in the chapel of S. João Evangelista, where their grandparents, parents and wife lied.
