Notes:
*@Wilson 1918, p. 38, observes: 'St. Aidan 1's name appears in Oen, in the Old English Martyrology, and in the martyrology of the Drummond Missal, but not in Bede, though Bede elsewhere (H.E., III, xiv) records the day of his death. The name is a later addition, probably due to English or Irish influence at Epternach, not to the Northumbrian tradition inherited by St. Willibrord.'
