Scope and content

Will of Catarina Fernandes, daughter of Father Nicolau Fernandes. The testator asks to be buried in the cloister of Braga Cathedral, next to her brother Pedro Fernandes. In her will, Catarina declares that she wishes to establish a chapel and entails her possessions in perpetuity. She also imposes the obligation of celebrating a weekly mass at the altar of S. Geraldo or S. António, in Braga Cathedral, for her soul and for the souls of her parents, brother and other people she was close to. Catarina established the Casal of Vezemal, in S. Martinho, Braga, as the head of the chapel, including the lands she had inherited from his father and brother. She appointed her nephew Francisco Fernandes and his descendants as administrators, or another nephew, Marcos Veloso, on the condition that he couldn't marry Domingas da Costa. The entail would be inherited mainly by first-born sons, excluding illegitimate children and those who had committed lese-majeste crimes.

Followed by the approval deed (1624-11-15, fls. 188-188v).
