There appears to have been no bishop normally resident on the island during Columba's time_HXJ Indeed, there is no record of a bishop of Iona until Coeddi episcopus Jae, who died in 712 according to the Annals of Ulster; wi though we know that bishops did occasionally spend time there. 102 Iona monks did become pastors priests and bishops - during our period, but we hear of them being ordained to preach and minister in Columban churches elsewhere: Aedan and Finan, for example, were bishops of Lindisfarne, w:i and the Arnra celebrates the impact of Columban Christianity on the Picts, 'the fierce ones who lived on the Tay,' where Iona had clergy at least until they were expelled - again according to the Ulster Annals - in 717.
This was certainly the case on Iona during our period. The Iona Chronicle itself has not been preserved - indeed no Irish monastic chronicle of the period has been. But collections of annals made centuries later can be shown to depend on much earlier monastic chronicles. John Bannerman has demon strated that the Annals of Ulster contain a significant body of material which was copied from an Iona Chronicle. 133 From the early seventh century until around the year 740, the Iona Chronicle provided important information for the Irish annals: entries dealing with events on Iona (the death of all the abbots, for example), as well as a good deal of material about journeys between Ireland and Iona, and political events of the Scottish Dal Riata, the Picts, the English and some Britons.
