The saints of Northumbria lived during the 7th—10th centuries in what is today northern England, the Scottish Borders and the Lothian. During the reign of king Oswald of Northumbria, an Irish monk Aidan was invited to reconvert the area to Christianity. He and other Irish monks achieved this and subsequently the Northumbrians helped to reconvert much of the rest of England and also parts of the European Continent. This list includes all of the saints strongly associated with Northumbria.
