Chancery record of a confirmation letter to João Pereira, Diogo Lopes de Lima and D. Isabel de Castro.

Confirmation letter to João Pereira, Diogo Lopes de Lima and D. Isabel de Castro of the will of João Pereira, founding an entail.

Documents produced by the entail.

Will by which João Pereira, Senhor de Castro Daire, established an entail with properties in Viseu, Santa Maria da Feira, Guimarães and Barcelos ("quinta de Canelas"; "quinta de Segueiros"; "casal de Rocas"; "Póvoa de Santa Maria da Ribeira"; "casal de Seixo da Lagareira"; "casal da Torre"; "quinta do Airão"). He designated Diogo Lopes de Lima, his son-in-law, and D. Isabel de Castro, his daughter, to succeed him in its administration, obligating them and their successors to support the celebration of 4 perpetual weekly masses in the convent of S. Domingos of Guimarães and in the chapel of his farmstead of Airão. The latter would be the most important property of that entail. Diogo Lopes de Lima and D. Isabel de Castro approved this foundation and donated the assets they inherited from Maria de Castro, wife of João Pereira and mother of D. Isabel de Castro, to that entail. The will was also approved by the friars of the convent of S. Domingos, where the testator's body would be buried, next to his wife.
