Resignation and composition deed between the priests of the convent of S. Domingos de Benfica, Lisboa, and Luís de Brito do Rio, fidalgo da Casa do Rei and administrator of the entail and chapel established by Lopo Mendes do Rio and Leonor Dias, by which they give up their previous demands. The priests accept to give up part of what they were owed from the revenue of the entail, since it had been proven that several improvements had been made in the properties of the chapel and the obligations of masses were paid. Luís de Brito do Rio gives up part of the properties that had been taken by the convent and pays the remaining part of what he owes. Both parts agree on the amount of money that must be paid each year to fullfill the obligations established in the institutors' will.
