Scope and content

Will made by padre Lourenço Mouzinho, in which he ordered the foundation of two entails. The first entail would be composed of lands, farms vineyards and houses in Marvão's outskirts, and would have a perpetual obligation of fifteen masses celebrated every year, ten on the Altar das Chagas of Castelo de Vide and five on the Altar das Chagas de Cristo on the Misericórdia of Marvão. To administrate it, he named Vitória Garção, daughter of Domingos Dias and Isabel Fernandes, during her lifetime, and, after her death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. The second entail would be composed of some lands and a farm, and would also have a perpetual obligation of fifteen masses celebrated every year, ten on the Altar das Chagas of Castelo de Vide and five on the Altar das Chagas de Cristo on the Misericórdia of Marvão, or, alternatively, on the convent of N. Sra. da Estrela. To administrate it he named Isabel Garção, sister o Vitória and daughter of Domingos Dias and Isabel Fernandes, during her lifetime, and, after her death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. If neither Vitória or Isabel had children, the administration would be handled to their youngest sister Leonor Carrilho or, if she also had no children, to Maria Mouzinha, cousin of the institutor, or their descendants, with the only restriction that neither of the two entails could ever be administrated by the same administrator of the entail founded by Pedro Mouzinho da Mota. The administrators of both entails should marry with a noble person, chatolic of clean blood, and would lose the administration if he or she ever married with a person of jewish, moorish, or new-christian ascendency. The Provedor da Comarca should take account on the administration of both entails, and charge the administrators in double if they did not fullfill the pious obligations, even in times of war. The administrators were also obliged to purchase a "bula de defunto" for the institutor's soul and should also preserve the entailed houses, reforming them if needed, or, otherwise, they would be obliged to pay 3 cruzados every year to the Bula de Cruzada until the houses were fully restored. The institutor mentioned that he had administrated the chapel founded by Manuel Carrilho, fullfilling all obligations and improving it until 1642-10-01, when the Castillian army invaded and stole some of the chapel's properties, and from there on the chapel was administrated by Fernando da Mota and his wife Maria Mouzinha, who owed some debts to him.
