Scope and content
Will of Pedro Pais and his wife Maria Brava. The couple requested to be buried in the Chapel of the Santíssimo Sacramento in the Cathedral of Braga. They named each other as their universal heirs. With the aim of establishing an entail, they reserved properties in Braga, which were to be owned first by their nephew Martinho Bravo, whom they had raised "as their own son". He was to be succeeded by his son Diogo Bravo or by Manuel Bravo. If both died without descendants, someone from the Bravo family would have to be appointed administrator. Clerics were excluded from this role. The administrator had to ensure that two masses were celebrated each week and had to use the surnames Bravo and Pais. A copy of the testament had to be inserted in the records of the Juízo dos Resíduos de Braga, in order to preserve the memory of the pious obligations of the administrators.
Followed by the approval deed (1556-08-06, fls. 119-119v) and the opening deed (1559-12-02, fls. 119v-120).
