Entail foundation deed

Entail foundation deed by Luís Álvares de Madureira, fidalgo da casa do rei, his wife and first-cousin Joana de Madureira, and his aunt Isabel de Madureira. Together they decided to establish an entail, using their farmstead of Freixo, in Guilhabreu, as the head of the entail. They decided to create the entail in order to avoid the division of the estates and the dilution of the memory of the lineage, arguing that the concentration of the inheritance in one institution, managed by the first-born, was also a way of supporting the other relatives. At that time, the couple had no children and decided that in the absence of descendants, the surviving member of the couple had the power to appoint the successor. However, the administrator of the entail should primarly be the first-born son, excluding clerics and those who commited lese-majeste crimes. The administrators were also required to entail other lands and to use the Madureira name and coat of arms. An inventory of the entail was to be made, with three copies: one to be kept by the administrator, and the others to be kept in the Municipality of Porto and in the Cathedral.

Will

Will by which António Pais Tavares expresses his wish to be buried in the cathedral of Portalegre. He declares he and his wife, Catarina Caldeira, had entailed their farmstead of Moinho do Cubo, with a perpetual obligation of two masses celebrated every year and named their son Francisco Caldeira Pais as first administrator and, after his death the succession would always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir, or, if he had no children, on the closest relative. All administrators should bear the surname "Pais" or otherwise lose the administration.

Tavares, António Pais (d.1612)

Will

Will made by João Rodrigues Mouzinho in which he ordered to be buried in the Church of Santo António da Conceição, in Castelo de Vide, and founded three entails. The first entail would have a perpetual pious obligation of twenty masses celebrated every year and would be administrated by António Rodrigues, son of the institutor, during his lifetime. Before his death, he would appoint a son or daughter to succeed him with the same conditions. This entail is composed of some "tapadas" in Ribeira de Vide. The second entail would have a perpetual pious obligation of ten masses celebrated every year and would be administrated by Leonor Carrilho, daughter of the institutor, during her lifetime. Before her death, she would appoint a son or daughter to succeed her with the same conditions. The third entail would have a perpetual pious obligation of ten masses celebrated every year and would be administrated by Justa Rodrigues Mouzinho, daughter of the institutor, during her lifetime. Before her death, she would appoint a son or daughter to succeed her with the same conditions. These last two entails are composed of houses and olive groves located in Castelo de Vide. No administrator could ever marry with a person of the so-called "infected races" and was obliged to present an account of the administration to the Misericórdia of Castelo de Vide in every two years.

[includes a declaration deed disposing over non-entailed assets].
