.@Harry_cartoons @lambandflag99 Indeed. Also phaps worth noting tht Lindissi covered larger area than modern Lindsey.pic.twitter.com/ZQkFmPgQsi
@caitlinrgreen How did you determine line of the boundary? Is it fairly tightly defined or indicative of a border zone? And in what period?
@SurreyMedieval Think strong argument that Lindissi encompassed areas to south of Lincoln+west of Trent, but exact 'borders' def open to >
@SurreyMedieval > interpretation :) Chp4 of Britons&Ang-Saxs has more, but based for example on ancient extent of Hatfield+wapentake Newark>
@SurreyMedieval > (prob once Lincs)+crem cems & their territories etc+extent of Billingas. As to period, 6thC-7thC? Post-679, southern part>
@SurreyMedieval > prob split off from modern Lindsey by Mercians? (B+ASs, chp5). :)
@SurreyMedieval (oh, plus I smoothed the 'border' out on version I posted here, so doesn't have the odd inward turn between Hatfield+Newark)
