History

diocese of Angra
.

Its bishop, Quintianus, was present at the

Islamic invasion
(714), after which the succession is quite unknown for four centuries and a half, with the exception of the epitaph of a Bishop Daniel (January, 1100).

Until the reconquest (1166) by

archdiocese of Lisbon
from 1394 to 1544, when it was made an archbishopric.

Portuguese writers have maintained that the first bishop of Évora was St. Mantius, a Roman, and a disciple of Jesus Christ, sent by the Apostles into the Iberian Peninsula as a missionary of the Gospel.
