Britons and Anglo-Saxons:Lincolnshire AD 400–650

by Thomas GreenVolume 3 of the History of Lincolnshire's

series

With a foreword by Dr Kevin Leahy, in which he acknowledges this volume as breakingnew ground, Britons and Anglo-Saxons offers an interdisciplinary approach to the history ofthe Lincoln region in the post-Roman period, drawing together a wide range of sources.In particular, it indicates that a British polity named *Lindēs was based at Lincoln into the

sixth century, and that the seventh-century Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Lindsey (OldEnglish Lindissi) had an intimate connection to this British political unit. The picture that

emerges is of importance not only from the perspective of the history of the Lincolnregion but also nationally, helping to answer key questions regarding the origins of

Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the nature and extent of Anglian–British interaction in the coreareas of Anglo-Saxon immigration, and the conquest and settlement of Northumbria.
