Entail foundation deed

Entail foundation deed by which D. Pedro de Moura and his wife, D. Mécia de Abreu, establish an entail with the third part of their assets, which comprises houses in Lisboa and lands located on the outskirts of Azambuja, designating D. Manuel de Moura, their son, to administrate it. After his death, the entail would be transmitted to his eldest male son, D. Jerónimo de Moura. Its future administrators are obligated to support the celebration of an annual mass for the institutor's souls in the convent of Nossa Senhora das Virtudes of Azambuja.

Moura, Pedro de (flor.1542)

Will (extract)

Will (extract) by which D. Mécia de Abreu declares that she had made an agreement with her brother-in-law, D. António Gonçalves da Câmara, who committed himself to give her or her descendants 30 000 réis, each year, as long as he lived, and to bequeath her, after his death, part of the patrimony left by her sister. She orders her successors, future administrator of the entail established by her and her late husband, D. Pedro de Moura, to use those assets to support the celebration of a daily perpetual mass in the church of S. João da Praça of Lisboa, where her body and her husband's remains would be buried. While that patrimony could not be employed in that manner, the revenues of her houses located on Rua das Arcas would fund that pious obligation.
The testator also demands each one of the future administrators of her entail to add to it part of their assets.

Abreu, Mécia de (flor.1542-1552)
