Juízo dos Resíduos record of the entail instituted by Lopo Dias Lemos.

Documents produced by the entail.

Will of Lopo Dias Lemos, cavaleiro fidalgo. The testator declares that his body is to be buried in the Chapel of Santo António, in the cloister of Braga Cathedral, next to his wife Isabel Jacome and his son Diogo Lopes de Lemos. He declared his will to found a chapel. He bequeathed properties in Braga and on the outskirts of the city, with the perpetual obligation to hold two masses every week. His grandchildren, Gaspar de Lemos and Margarida de Lemos, were named as his universal heirs. Lopo argued that the entail was the best juridical solution to protect their access to his inheritance, since they were not legitimate children of his son. The last surviving grandchild was to own all the property and pass it on to the first-born son. Illegitimate children were excluded from the succession.
