| Summary: | This royal resolution, dated 18 March 1668, grants Dona Michaela de Sampayo one-half of the General Captaincy of Macau, effective until 2 January 1674, based on the value of the products prior to that date. The resolution, in line with the Ultramarine Convention of the same date, also allows her to renounce or will this tenure for the same duration and under similar conditions. The authority to do so was previously granted to her husband, Francisco de Morais de Faria, through a letter and aluária issued on 29 March 1675. Should these documents be annulled, the necessary changes would be recorded in all relevant registers. Signed on 22 March 1687, this document provides insight into women's rights and property ownership in colonial Macau during the 17th century. |
