@caitlinrgreen@lambandflag99 Was Lincs within Mercia at that time, or was it still part of Lindsey? -
@Harry_cartoons@lambandflag99 Depends... There were prob 'independent' rulers up to c. 679, after which Lindissi was absorbed into Mercia. -
@caitlinrgreen@lambandflag99 I see. Where does the Lindissi spelling come from? Anglian? Or some Romano-British influences perhaps? -
@Harry_cartoons@lambandflag99 it's regular Old English form, derives from a Late British group and territory name with uncertain suffix > -
@Harry_cartoons@lambandflag99 > which was falsely reinterpreted as containing OE for 'Island': modern district name derives from latter :)

@caitlinrgreen the gold cross is so simplistic and beautiful -
@ElaineARoche Isn't it just--a really nice example, lacks the flashiness of the garnet-encrusted Anglo-Saxon crosses but has its own beauty!

Quite close to Lincoln! Romano Britons allowing Saxon Christian free passage to Lincoln Church perhaps.
-
By that point, ppl using AS names prob in control of Lincoln; suggest move from British to AS ascendancy in mid6thC or so? :)
