Documents produced by the entail.

Will (extract) made by Pedro Lopes in which he ordered the foundation of an entail and chapel that would be composed of some lands, houses, two bulls, fourty cows and also twenty enslaved persons, over which he imposed a perpetual pious obligation of one mass celebrated every week as long as the world lasted, in the church of Santiago of Ribeira Seca, and also two masses, one of them sung, in All Souls Day. To administrate it, he named Miguel, an illegitimate son, during his lifetime, and, after his death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on his eldest legitimate heirs. Henceforth, all adulters and illegitimate children would be excluded from the administration. He disposed explicitly that if one of the tewnty slaves he entailed perished, run away or was "bad" at service, the administrator would be obliged to replace him or her immediatly, and also ordered that all children, male or female, born from the entailed slaves would become immediatly entailed to the chapel.
