Will made by João de Resende in Coimbra before he departed to Castille. He expresses his wish to be buried near his brother, Pedro Homem de Resende, in the chapterhouse of the convent of Santo António dos Olivais, Coimbra, as he had accorded with its priests. He entails the remaining part of his properties with the obligation of four annual masses over his tomb. He designates as administrator of this entail his niece, D. Joana de Sá de Miranda e Resende, and her successors afterwards. If she also inherits the entail founded by his brother, Pedro Homem de Resende, both entails will be united, and the four annual masses won't need to be prayed. He establishes conditions for the heirs of his and his brother's entails and declares that the properties which belong to them are listed in a notebook signed by him, where he also has copies of other documentation related to them.
