Description
Britons and Anglo-Saxons: Lincolnshire AD 400-650 offers a fresh perspective on the history of the Lincoln region in the post-Roman period. By combining all available evidence, significant advances can be made in understanding the events of this time. The book reveals 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 a close connection with this British unit. This new edition includes a revised introduction, discussing recent research into the late and post-Roman Lincoln region. The result is a more nuanced picture of the history of the Lincoln region, with implications for our understanding of the origins of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and the nature of interaction between the Angles and the Britons.
