Kingdom of Lindsey
The kingdom of Lindsey or Linnuis (Old English ') was a lesser Anglo-Saxon kingdom, which was absorbed into Northumbria in the 7th century.
==Geography==
Lindsey lay between the Humber estuary and the Wash, forming its inland boundaries from the courses of the Witham and Trent rivers, and the Foss Dyke between them. A marshy region south of the Humber known as the Isle of Axholme was also included. It is believed that Roman Lindum (Lincoln) was the capital of Lindsey: the continuity of the place name suggests continuity of settlement traditions: in 625, Bede recounts,〔Bede, ''Ecclesiastical History'' II.16.〕 the missionary Paulinus of York was received by the ''praefectus'' of Lindum.〔H. R. Loyn, ''Anglo-Saxon England and the Norman Conquest'', 2nd ed. 1991:11f, notes that ''praefectus'' is the most usual translation of ''gerefa'', "reeve" by Anglo-Saxons writing in Latin.〕 Place-name evidence indicates that the Anglian settlement known as Lindisfaras spread from the Humber coast.
Lindsey means the 'island of Lincoln': it was surrounded by water and very wet land. Lincoln was in the south-west part of the kingdom. During the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, from about 450, Lindsey was one of the lesser kingdoms. Although it has its own list of kings, at an early date it came under external influence. It was from time to time effectively part of Deira, of the Northumbrian kingdom, and particularly later, of Mercia. Lindsey lost its independence long before the arrival of the Danish settlers.
