Adomnán of Coldingham

  • fl. 7th century
  • Coldingham
  • (agents)
Irishman known from a story by Bede (HE IV.25), who claims to have heard it from the Anglo-Saxon priest Eadgisl. Adomnán is said to have been a young man at Coldingham (modern Berwickshire, Scotland), who would do penance to atone for a grave sin and received guidance from an Irish confessor; after the latter died, he became a voluntary exile (peregrinus) and had a vision of the burning of the monastery as a divine punishment for moral laxity, which occurred after the death of its abbess, Æbbe.
