The Blessed Amadeus of Portugal O.F.M. (1420–1482) was a Portuguese nobleman who became first a monk then left that life to become a friar of the Franciscan Order. Later he became a reformer of that Order which led to his founding of a distinct branch of the Friars Minor that was named after him later suppressed by the Pope in order to unite them into one great family of Friars Minor Observants (1568).
