NOTE: Aedan was "king of Dál Riada from about 574 to 606/608 and was allegedly over 70 at his death. He was the son of Gabhran, king of Dál Riada, and became king after the death of his kinsman, Conall, when he was crowned at Iona by Saint Columba. He refused to allow his kingdom to remain dependent on Irish Dál Riada, but coming into collision with his southern neighbours he led a large force against Ćthelfrith, king of the Northumbrians, and was defeated at a place called Daegsanstane, probably in Liddesdale.
