Scope and content

Will made by Sebastião Mendes Canto, in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail and chapel with a perpetual obligation of sixty masses celebrated every year on the chapel of N. Sra. do Rosário of S. Lourenço's church, in Portalegre, where his body should be buried. His descendants could also be buried in the chapel if they wished so. He named his nephew Francisco, son of his niece Ana Mendes, as first administrator of the entail during his lifetime, and, after his death, the succession would always continue on the eldest male heir. If Francisco became a clergyman or if he died without heirs, the administration should be transmitted to his male brothers, preferably the eldest after him, or his sisters. In the lack of descendants of Ana Mendes, the administration would be handled to the Misericórdia of Portalegre, with the same conditions. All administrators would be obliged to annex up to 20.000 réis of their own reserved portion to the entail. The administrators should give account not to the Provedor das Capelas, but directly to the Prior of S. Lourenço's church. Anyone who committed crimes of lese-majeste would lose the administration of the entail.
