Saint Aldate

Saint Aldate (/ˈɔːldeɪt/; Old Welsh, Eldad; died 577) was a bishop of Gloucester, venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church with the feast day of 4 February, and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Aldate's life is not detailed historically, but he was probably a Briton killed by the Anglo-Saxons at Deorham.

He is reported to have roused the countryside to resist pagan invasion forces, but nothing seems to be known of him: it was even suggested that his name was a corruption of "old gate".
