Abstract

The purpose of this article is to give new historical data about de assistance given to de children of the city of Braga, on the occasion of their deaths, in the XVIII century. In the work that we done it was possible to analyse some data about the announcement of death of the children of Braga, their funerals, graves and the assistance to their souls, through the documental sources of the confraternities of the city and the Constitutions of the archbishopric. The testamental analysis gave less data, but revealed the probable preoccupation of some individuals with the salvation of the souls of their sons, that died with more than seven years of age.
