AIDAN (d. 606), king of the Scottish kingdom of Dalriada, |
|||
was the son of Gabran, king of Dalriada, and became king after |
|||
the death of his kinsman King Conall, when he was crowned at |
|||
Iona by St Columba. He refused to allow his kingdom to remain |
|||
in dependence on the Irish Dairiada, but coming into collision |
|||
with his southern neighbours he led a large force against |
|||
AEthelfrith, king of the Northumbrians, and was defeated |
|||
at a place called Daegsanstane, probablv in Liddesdale. |
