Libel of accusation (extract) presented in a civil process between Simão Álvares, author, against Maria Boução, defendant.
It states that João Boução had instituted a chapel at the altar of São Vicente, in the church of Santa Maria de Celorico da Beira, with certain charges for masses, and assets entailed to its fulfillment, ordering the administrator to be his closest relative, except that, if any relative were cleric, he should be the administrator.
That Álvaro Eanes Boução and Catarina Fernandes, were Simão Álvares' parents, being the first brother of Pedro Eanes Boução, who had the administration of the chapel, the author's uncle.
That after the death of Pedro Eanes Boução, João Dias illegitimately appropriated the administration of the chapel, claiming to be the nephew of Pedro Eanes Boução (son of Catarina Eanes, his sister), when it would legitimately belong to the author. By the death of Pedro Eanes, Maria Boução defendant, had succeeded, who, likewise, was an illegitimate administrator.
