AIDAN

Aidan was king of the Dalriada around 600. He was crowned by St Columba at Iona and completed the separation of Dalriada from the parent kingdom in Ireland, and in 588 conquered the Isle of Man. He attempted to extend his kingdom south by attacking Ethelfrith, king of Bernicia, but was defeated in 603. He died in 606.
