Will

Will by which bacharel João Calaça, irmão terceiro da Ordem Dominicana, expresses his wish to be buried in the convent of S. Domingos de Benfica, Lisboa. He appoints his natural son, Manuel, who lives in Salamanca, as his universal heir, giving him all his properties. He bequeaths to João do Couto, cavaleiro da Casa do Rei, and his executor, his quinta de Bulhaco, which is in a demand against Isabel Martins, a Raboa, widow of António Pais. If it is sold, after the demand, the revenue shall be entailed to a chapel of a weekly mass in that convent. If it isn't sold, it shall be entailed to the chapel with the same obligation. João do Couto shall only have the quinta during his lifetime; after his death, it shall pass to Manuel and to his descendants. If he dies without descendants, António Calaça, João's brother, and his successors shall inherit it instead.
João Calaça also bequeaths to his son his parts of the herdade de Santa Catarina, one which was given to him by his aunt, Catarina Calaça, with an obligation of ten annual masses, and the other by Inês Fernandes, wife of his uncle, Álvaro Calaça, with the obligation of five masses.
