Aidan of Lindisfarne, born in Ireland, may have studied under St. Senan before becoming a monk at Iona. At the request of King Oswald of Northumbria, Aidan went to Lindisfarne as bishop and was known throughout the kingdom for his knowledge of the Bible, his learning, his eloquent preaching, his holiness, his distaste for pomp, his kindness to the poor, and the miracles attributed to him. He founded a monastery at Lindisfarne that became known as the English Iona and was a centre of learning and missionary activity for all of northern England. He died in 651 at the royal castle at Bamburgh.

Set aside some time for prayer in St Aidan's Institute (behind St Aidan's Church).

According to unreliable sources, he was a Frank courtier who was converted by St. Remigius, refused the offer of a See from his godfather, King Clovis I, and became a monk at Micy. He lived as a hermit at Limoges and was rewarded by the king with all the land he could ride around on a donkey in a day for his prayers, which were believed to have brought the Queen through a difficult delivery safely. He founded Noblac monastery on the land so granted to him, and it grew into the town of Saint-Leonard. He remained there evangelising the surrounding area until his death. He is invoked by women in labour and by prisoners of war because of the legend that Clovis promised to release every captive Leonard visited. His feast day is November 6.
