The east wall of the chapel at the Batalha Monastery, the construction of which commenced in 1386, had an altar dedicated to the Guardian Angel of Portugal.[1] In 1504, by request of King Manuel I of Portugal, Pope Julius II created the feast of the Custodian Angel of the Kingdom (Anjo Custódio do Reino).[2]

The cult of the Guardian Angel of Portugal declined considerably after the 17th century, and was officially restored in 1952, its feast day being inserted into the Portuguese liturgical calendar by Pius XII.^{[citation needed]}

The three children who claimed in 1917 to have experienced a series of Marian apparitions at the Our Lady of Fátima events claimed the angel to have appeared before them three times in the prior year.[3]

The Angel of Portugal has at times been identified as Saint Michael.[4][5]
