Chad
ST. (CEADDA), born in Northumbria, became a pupil of St.
Aidan, spent part of his youth in Ireland, and in 666 became Bishop of York. Doubt having been cast on the validity of his consecration, he withdrew in 669, but was immediately made Bishop of Mercia, fixing the see at Lichfield. He died in 672, after a life eminent for humility and sanctity.
