Will chart (extract)

Will chart (extract) made by Catarina Mendes Pereira in which she confirmed the foundation of the entail, but disposed that the administrator should reserve a share of the entail's income and donate it to her nieces Luzia de Santa Clara and Isabel do Espírito Santo, nuns, as long as they lived, and after their deaths this sum would return to the entail. She ordered that the administrator should always give wax from the beehives to the Confraria do Santíssimo Sacramento in order to make candles.

Pereira, Catarina Mendes ([before 1646])
