CAMPOS, Maria Amélia Álvaro de. The bequest of Pedro Domingues, 1335: the foundation of a chapel in honour of Dona Branca, princess of Portugal, in the church of Santa Justa of Coimbra. []. , 20, pp.1-28. ISSN 1646-740X.

^len^aIn 1335, Pedro Domingues, who identified himself as servant and squire of Dona Branca, princess of Portugal, made his will in which founded one chapel to celebrate his soul, the soul of his family and the soul of the princess Dona Branca. This paper presents a case study and it publishes the palaeographic transcription of the original testamentary will. More than the analysis of the behaviour of medieval society towards the dead, we want to question the function of this chapel in the social mobility of one family from the urban oligarchy. For this purpose we will specially question the particularity of the association of the name of the princess to the chapel in analysis^lpt^aEm 1335, Pero Domingues, que se identifica como criado e escudeiro da Infanta D. Branca, faz o seu testamento, no qual funda uma capela para celebrar a sua alma, a alma dos seus familiares e a alma da infanta D. Branca de Portugal. Este artigo apresenta um estudo de caso e publica o referido testamento. Mais do que a análise da atitude do Homem medieval perante a morte, pretende-se problematizar a função desta capela na projecção social de uma família da aristocracia urbana. Para tal, problematizaremos especialmente a singularidade da associação do nome da infanta portuguesa à celebração da referida capela
