Scope and content

Will by which Bento Mendes Mexia expresses his wish to be buried in the church of Santa Maria Madalena de Olivença. He establishes an entail with the remaining part of his properties, with an obligation of 150 annual masses for his soul and the souls of his children João Mendes Mexia and Beatriz Mendes Mexia. He bequeaths it to his wife, Maria Mendes Gaga, during her lifetime, under the condition that she helps support their daughter-in-law, Beatriz Lobo da Gama. The entail will pass to her, after his wife's death, and afterwards to their nephew, also called João Mendes Mexia, and to his son Bento, Bento's godson. If his godson doesn't have successors, the entail shall pass to Álvaro Mendes Mexia, great-nephew of the institutor, son of his niece Inês Mendes. He annexes 25 000 réis of his third part to the entail established by his father, João Mendes Valentim, as had been agreed with his brother, Manuel Mendes.
