The northern part of the cathedral city [[Lincoln]], Lincolnshire's county town, is in Lindsey with the southern part being in [[Kesteven]].
The name Lindsey is older than that of Lincolnshire itself; the Kingdom of Lindsey was a minor Anglian kingdom which was absorbed into the much larger kingdom of [[Northumbria]] around the 7th century. It was disputed between the kingdoms Northumbria and [[Mercia]] some time prior to the arrival of Danish settlers in the 8th century.
