Court proceedings regarding the succession of the entail founded by Diogo de Castro do Rio as a dowry of 50.000 cruzados to her daughter Maria de Castro do Rio to marry to D. Francisco de Moura in 1571.

Court sentence judging D. Doroteia de Meneses, defendant, as the legitimate daughter of D. Cecília de Meneses and her husband, Francisco Zuzarte da Fonseca, and, therefore, the rightful successor of her mother in the administration of the entail founded by Diogo de Castro do Rio as a dowry of 50.000 cruzados to her daughter Maria de Castro do Rio to marry to D. Francisco de Moura. It also judges that the request of the plaintiff, not named, is not valid. The plaintiff accused D. Doroteia de Meneses of not being daughter of D. Cecília de Meneses, claiming that he should succeed in the entail's administration, because he is the closest relative of the administrator and from the institutor's bloodline.
