Chapel foundation deed

Chapel foundation deed by which D. Isabel de Castilho, widow of João Bernardes, escrivão dos Armazéns dos mantimentos de Lisboa, instituted a chapel, entailing to it the third part of his assets, which included a farmstead located near the Chafariz do Andaluz. The revenues of the entailed assets would support the celebration of a perpetual daily mass and another one prayed, every year, in All Saints' Day in the convent of S. Bento da Saúde of Lisboa, where her body would be buried. She appointed her brother, João Batista Santa Cruz, to administrate the chapel, allowing him to designate one of his children to succeed him. If he died without leaving descendants, the entail would be transmitted to the closest living relative or to a benefactor. The institutor declared that she had chosen her brother to administrate it because her only son had married against her will. Contains a copy of a petition and a licence.

Court sentence (transcription)

Court sentence condemning D. Doroteia Freire da Silva, appellee, to relinquish to D. Josefa de Castilho, appellant and administrator of the chapel of D. Isabel de Castilho, the houses sold at an auction (arrematadas) to pay some debts of the last administrator, António Teixeira Santa Cruz, with their income generated since the day D. Josefa de Castilho succeeded to her brother, knocking off 200.000 réis and their interest, from the first loan deed. António da Silva da Veiga, husband of D. Doroteia Freire da Silva, lent some money to António Teixeira da Cruz and bought the houses at auction to pay the debt.
