5th century. Saint Patrician was driven from his Scottish see by heathen invaders. He lived out the rest of his days on the Isle of Man (Benedictines).

Troparion of St Patrician Tone 1
Driven from the See in Strathclyde by the Saxon hordes,/ thou wast
sheltered by the Manx people/ to whom thou didst preach the life-giving
Gospel of Christ,/ O Hierarch Patrician./ In thy patience and love for
all, remember those who now cry to thee/ and beseech Christ our God that
He will save our souls.
