Court sentence

Court sentence issued by the Juiz de Fora of Portalegre approving the nuncupative codicil made by Violante Gonçalves, widow of Francisco Fernandes, in which she ordered the foundation of an entail in Castelo de Vide.

Codicil

Nuncupative codicil made in Castelo de Vide by Violante Gonçalves, in which she ordered the foundation of an entail with a perpetual obligation of three masses celebrated every year. The institutor named her son Francisco Fernandes and his sister Joana Veles as first administrators during their lifetimes and, after their deaths, they would be succeeded by Isabel Veles, granddaughter of the institutor, and from there on the succession should continue on her descendants. No illegitimate heir could ever administrate the entail and anyone who married with another person of the so-called "infected races" would be deprived from the administration.

Gonçalves, Violante (flor.1621)
