Donation deed

Donation deed by which Beatriz Fernandes, widow of Domingos Martins Morgado, donates all of her properties in Monsaraz and its surroundings, including her half of the estate of Sardinha, to her nephew, Manuel Fernandes, son of her sister Catarina Lopes, as an entail, with the obligation of a daily mass in the altar of Nossa Senhora do Rosário of the church of Santa Maria da Lagoa. He can appoint its chaplain and the future administrator among his children, who will, afterwards, appoint the next administrators among their descendants. If no appointment is made, the entail shall pass to the eldest son. She also promises to buy two moios of wheat to annex to her entail.

Will

Will by which Beatriz Fernandes Morgado expresses her wish to be buried in the chancel of the church of Santa Maria da Lagoa of Monsaraz, where her brother, João Marques, is also buried. She annexes to the entail she donated her deceased nephew, Manuel Fernandes Lopes, the estate of Mécia Nunes, the two moios of wheat she had previously promised to annex to it and other properties, including the estate of Parreira, with an obligation of 100 masses. She donates the entail to her great-nephews, Domingos Eanes and João Marques, sons of Manuel Fernandes Lopes. When one of them dies, the entail shall pass to the surviving one, and to his descendants. If they both have descendants, it shall pass to both their eldest sons, and successively from then on. She bequeaths Lourenço Fernandes 100 000 réis and an olive grove in Monsaraz as a chapel, with the obligation of 10 annual masses for her soul. After Lourenço's death, it shall be given to her great-nephews with the same obligation. She also bequeaths a quarter of her estate of Gagos to the chapel of her husband, Domingos Martins, and to whomever inherits it.
