Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which D. Leonor de Meneses, who was about to marry D. Fernando, Duque de Bragança, determined that if she died without leaving descendants, her previous will would be executed, since she confirmed its validity. However, if she left offspring, the third part of her assets would be delivered to the convent of S. Agostinho of Santarém, whose friars would support the celebration of 3 daily perpetual masses. If the convent renounced the chapel's administration, the entail would be transmitted to her eldest son and administrated, during his minority, by the Conde de Arraiolos.

Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which D. Leonor de Meneses established a chapel in the convent of S. Agostinho of Santarém, entailing to it all her properties in Santarém as well as her farmstead ("quinta do Paraíso") and determining that its revenues should support the celebration of 5 daily perpetual masses and sustain 5 poor people every year. She designated her nephew, D. Pedro, son of the Condessa de Vila Real, D. Beatriz de Meneses, to administrate it, obligating him to use her father's family name and coat of arms. During his minority, the entail would be administrated by his mother.
D. Leonor de Meneses ordered the executors of her will to build two graves in that convent where her remains and those of her father, D. Pedro de Meneses, Conde de Viana, would be deposited. She also asked them to deliver to the heirs of her sister, D. Isabel, assets that were granted to her by the Regent, D. Pedro. If he did not authorize that, the executors had to wait for 2 years and then institute a chapel with those properties. It would be administrated by D. Afonso, D. Isabel and D. Fernando's son, who would have to support the celebration of 5 daily perpetual masses in that convent and provide for 5 poor people.
