This volume offers an interdisciplinary approach to the history of the Lincoln region in the post-Roman period, drawing together a wide range of sources. In particular, it indicates that a British polity named Lindes was based at Lincoln into the sixth century, and that the seventh-century Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Lindsey had an intimate connection to this British political unit. The picture that emerges helps to answer key questions on a national level regarding the origins of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the nature and extent Anglian-British interaction in the core areas of Anglo-Saxon immigration and the conquest and settlement of Northumbria.
