Scope and content

Will by which Beatriz Maria, Martinho Gonçalves do Souto's widow, asked the executors of her will to buy a chapel in a church or convent of their choice (preferably in the church of S. Roque or in the church of Nossa Senhora dos Mártires), where 2 perpetual daily masses should be celebrated, as it was demanded by her late husband in his will. He had entailed to it 2 public debt instruments of 240 000 réis. She designated Capitão Francisco Gomes, her husband's nephew, as the chapel's next administrator.
The testator instituted 3 daily perpetual masses in that chapel, ordering the executors - Baltasar Pires da Grã, Miguel Fernandes de Sousa, Frei Gregório de Jesus, Francisco Mendes de Barros, António Antunes and Frei Jerónimo Coelho - to support their celebration with the revenues of a public debt instrument of 165 000 réis or of her properties. They were obligated to administrate that entail and to spend, each year, 100 000 réis in the ransom of portuguese captives in África. After the death of all the executors, the chapel and the remaining assets belonging to the testator would be administrated by Santa Casa da Misericórdia. Followed by an approval deed issued on 1673-12-29 and an opening deed issued on 1674-01-12.
