Domingos of Évora, Teresa da Silveira, in the chapter of the monastery of S. Francisco of Évora, in the monastery of S. Domingos of Évora, and in the farmstead (herdade) of Silveira, in the outskirts of Redondo, and Miguel Pegas, in the monastery of S. Francisco of Évora, all denounced as vacant to the Crown by the late José da Costa Castelo Branco, the original plaintiff, because she is the daughter of a natural daughter of António Fragoso and niece of Álvaro de Ataíde, the last and legitimate administrators, and because there is not legitimate relatives of the institutors. It condemns the children of António Correia Pereira and D.

Teresa da Silveira, daughter of João Boto da Silveira and Margarida Vaz Pegas, dated 1584-07-17. D. Teresa da Silveira had founded three chapels in her will, made in 1621-12-12, the first one for her nephew António Fragoso de Ataíde, the second one for her niece D. Constança Lobo and the third one for her nephew Rui Lopes da Silveira. Miguel Pegas had founded his chapel in a will made in 1530-04-08 and had bequeathed it to his uncle, cónego João Rodrigues, and after his death to his cousin, Lucas Rodrigues, and to his descendants.
