Will

Will by which Estêvão Ferreira, o Velho, escudeiro, determines that 12 weekly masses should be celebrated perpetually for his soul in the convent of S. Simão da Junqueira, where his body would be buried, next to his mother's grave. The pious obligations would be supported with the revenues of the third part of the testator's assets. He designated Rui Ferreira and João Ferreira, his sons, and the prior of that convent to execute his will. If some of them chose not to fulfil it, the third part of his estate would be passed to Rui Ferreira. From then on, it would be transmitted to one of his brothers or, in their absence, to his closest male relative. The testator also bequeathed all his properties located on the region of Maia to his son, Rui.

Acórdão em Relação (transcription)

Acórdão em Relação judging Manuel Ferreira de Eça, plaintiff, as the rightful successor of the entail of Fajozes, founded by Estêvão Ferreira, o Velho, excluding the defendant, D. Francisca da Silva, wife of D. João Manuel de Meneses, because he is male and it is an agnation entail. He also excludes João Machado de Eça, opponent, once he represents his father, Gregório Ferreira de Eça, the opponent's older brother. It condemns the defendants to relinquish to the plaintiff the entail, with its income generated since the contested lawsuit.
