[MR] St Aedan, St. Aidan?

[Angela K. Pincha-Neel]

I was one of the people who did the initial research for His Majesty.
The Saint that I brought to His attention was indeed Saint Aiden who was
also referred to in a number of places with other names such as Aedan
and Madoc. St. Aiden was commonly represented as a stag. One of the
miracles attributed to this man was that he repelled a Saxon invasion of
the monastery he was at.
