Dona Hieronyma Maymo, was the wife of the noble don Honoffre de Maymo, and the daughter of don Luis Rocaberti and dona Joana, his wife, both deceased. She drew up her will on 1 September 1575, but there is no date for the reading of the will. Her executors were mainly members of the Rocaberti and Maymo noble families: her husband; the reverent sor Hieronyma de Rocaberti, prioress of the convent of Els Angels; don Ferran de Maymo; his wife dona Eleanor de Maymo; fra Hadria de Maymo of the Order of St John of Jerusalem; don Francesch de Rocaberti; and mossen Francesch Benet Codina. She wished to be buried in the Franciscan monastery in the tomb built by her husband, but left the amount to be spent up to her executors. She left 5ll to the orphans, 10ll to Els Angels, and 5ll to the Jesuits. She wanted the 'assots' to be celebrated and a rosary to be said in the convent, and also 3 trentenaris, for which she earmarked 33 reals, and the five Masses of St Augustine. Moreover, she wished to found an anniversary, in the case that she should die childless, but not otherwise, to be celebrated in the same convent, in perpetuity, with the Office of the Requiem or of Our Lady 'ab orgue, diaca y sotsdiaca y tant solempnement sie possible y se puja fer'. For this purpose, she wished to invest in a 25ll censal.
