This article appears in Volume V01, Page 435 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AIDAN , or tEDAN, first
bishop
  of Lindisfarne, a monk of Hii (Iona), was sent by the abbot Senegi to Northumbria, at the request of King
Oswald
 , A.D. 634-635 He restored Christianity, and in accordance with the traditions of Irish episcopacy
chose
  the
island
  of Lindisfarne; close to the royal city of Bamborough, as his see. Although he retained the Irish Easter, his character and energy in missionary
work
  won him the respect of Honorius and
Felix
 . He survived
Oswald
 , and died shortly after the murder of his friend Oswine of Deira, on the 31st of August 651, in the 17th year of his episcopate.
See Bede, Hist. Eccl. (ed. Plummer), iii. 3, 5, 17, 25.
AIDE-DE-CAMP (Fr. for camp-assistant or, perhaps, field-assistant), an officer of the personal staff of a general, who acts as his confidential secretary in routine matters. In
Great
  Britain the office of aide-de-camp to the king is given as a reward or an honorary distinction. In many foreign armies the word
adjutant
  is used for an aide-de-camp, and
adjutant
  general for a royal aide-de-camp. The common abbreviation for aide-de-camp in the British service is " A.D.C.," and in the United States "aid." Civil governors, such as the lord
lieutenant
  of Ireland, have also, as a
rule
 , officers on their staffs with the title and functions of aides-de-camp.
