Bishop of Lindsey

The Bishop of Lindsey was a prelate who administered an Anglo-Saxon diocese between the 7th and 11th centuries.

The episcopal title took its name after the ancient Kingdom of Lindsey.

The diocese of Lindsey (Lindine) was established when the large Diocese of Mercia was divided in the late 7th century into the bishoprics of Lichfield and Leicester (for Mercia itself), Worcester (for the Hwicce), Hereford (for the Magonsæte), and Lindsey (for the Lindisfaras).

[1] The bishop's seat at Sidnacester (Syddensis) has been placed, by various commentators, at Caistor, Louth, Horncastle and, most often, at Stow, all in present-day Lincolnshire, England.

[3] More recently Lincoln has been suggested as a possible site,[2] such as the inner-city suburb of Wigford.
