Court sentence (transcription)

Court sentence rejecting the plaintiffs, not named, as the rightful successors of the entail of António da Gama Nunes, and absolving the defendant from this request, because he is the great-grandson of Nuno de Antas, cousin of the institutor and appointed by him.
The court sentence also mentions the chapel of Constança de Aguiar, because one of the plaintifs is great-grandson of Joana da Silva, niece of the institutor, and condemns the defendants, not named, to relinquish them the farmstead (herdade) of Benalfange, in the outskirts of Montemor-o-Novo

Tenure warrant

Tenure warrant allowing Diogo da Gama Pereira, administrator of the entail established by António da Gama Nunes, to pay a rent (foro) of 4 500 réis to the Colégio dos Jesuítas de Évora for a leased land entailed to it. Although the leased land (prazo fateusim), belonging to the Colégio dos Jesuítas de Évora, had been initially incorporated in the entail by the institutor, the institution had opposed to that. The judicial dispute was only overcome when the entail's administrator and the jesuits reached an agreement over how much should be paid, every year, for the usufruct of that property. The warrant was issued after the Corregedor da Comarca de Évora declared his opinion.

Pereira, Diogo da Gama (flor.1692)
