Scope and content
Will by which D. Graça Guedes, Gonçalo Mendes de Brito's widow, ordered the construction of a hermitage devoted to Nossa Senhora do Vencimento in her farmstead of Carriche, determining that her heir had to give 30 000 réis, each year, to a priest to celebrate daily perpetual masses for her soul inside it. While the chapel was being built, the masses would be celebrated in the church of Nossa Senhora da Divina Providência of Lisboa, to which 5 pitchers of olive oil should be given, each year, to illuminate her statue of Nossa Senhora do Vencimento. She demanded that a grave should be bought in that church to receive her remains and it had to be next to that statue. 2 perpetual daily masses had to be celebrated, each year, in the church by priests chosen by the executors of her will. The pious obligations had to be supported by the revenues of a public debt instrument. The testator left her farmstead and money to maintain her chapel to her niece, D. Mariana Guedes, obligating her to give 3 dowries to orphan girls or young widows every year. If her niece did not marry according to her parents' will, she would not be entitled to receive her aunt's inheritance. If Mariana died without leaving descendants, all the estate would be transmitted to Bartolomeu Queirós Guedes, the testator's nephew.
D. Graça Guedes bequeathed jewelry, ornaments and textiles destined to clothe statues of saints to many churches of Lisboa, such as the church of S. Domingos, the church of Nossa Senhora da Madre de Deus, the church of Nossa Senhora do Socorro, the church of Nossa Senhora da Penha de França or the church of Nossa Senhora dos Olivais.
