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.

Lourenço, and a farmstead in Ribatejo, leaving instructions for the acquisition of other properties to be included in the entail. The income from the properties would also support two daily and perpetual masses to be celebrated in the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Assunção, to be located in the church of the convent of Madre de Deus de Lisboa, which was under construction, and for which he had already purchased liturgical furnishings, such as a retable of "Nossa Senhora". The first administrator would be his nephew João de Brito, son of Lopo de Brito. An inventory of the assets was to be drawn up, with three copies: one for the administrator and the other two to be kept at the S. Elói Monastery in Lisbon and at the Hospital of Todos-os-Santos. His successors were also obliged to entail more property. The succession would pass through the first-born sons, excluding illegitimate children and clerics. The presumptive heir was not allowed to marry without the consent of his parents, under the penalty of being removed from the succession.

Entail foundation deed

Entail foundation deed by which Joana da Cunha, widow of António de Castro, fidalgo da Casa do Rei, revokes a previous will she had made with her husband, in which they had annexed their third parts to the entail of the estate of Carvalhal, which António de Castro had inherited from his grandmother. She declares she has annexed only the third part of her husband to that entail, and has given it to their eldest son, Cristóvão de Castro, as had been accorded. She establishes a new entail with her third part, consisting of the estates of Vidigal and Cuncos, in Montemor-o-Novo, and gives it to her other son, Nicolau de Castro, fidalgo da Casa do Rei, to always be in his lineage. She also annexes to it the legitimes of her two surviving daughters, Isabel and Jerónima do Presépio, nuns in the monastery of S. Salvador of Lisboa. The administrators of the entail shall have the obligation of ordering a daily mass and an annual one either in the church of Santa Maria of Montemor-o-Novo or in the monastery of S. Salvador of Lisboa. She donates the entail to her son, reserving for herself the usufruct of its properties during her lifetime.
