Bardney was a mitred abbey, founded before 647. Ethelred, King of Mercia, who renounced his crown and became its Abbot, and St. Oswald, King and Martyr, were buried here; but the body of Oswald was subsequently removed to Gloucester.

Croyland was a mitred abbey, founded in 716, by Ethelbald, King of Mercia, on the spot where his tutor Guthlac, the Saint of the Fens, was buried. After its destruction by the Danes, it was rebuilt in 948, by the brave Chancellor Turketul. The historian Ingulphus was one of its Abbots. Its bridge, built as an emblem of the Trinity, is considered particularly curious, and is ornamented with a rudely sculptured statue of Ethelbald.

HISTORY.

A. D. 518, Lincoln, besieged by the Saxons under Cerdic and Colgern, relieved, and the invaders defeated by Arthur King of the Britons.

630, at Torksey, inhabitants of Lindsey baptised in the Trent by Paulinus, Abp. of York, in the presence of Edwin, the first Christian King of Northumbria.

827, at Caistor, Egbert, King of Wessex, defeated Wiglaff, King of Mercia, who fled to Croyland, where he was concealed 3 months, when by the mediation of its Abbot, Siward, he was restored to his kingdom on paying homage and becoming tributary to his conqueror.

868, at Gainsborough, Alfred the Great married to Alswitha, daughter of the Chief of the Ganii.

870, at Humberstan, Danes landed, destroyed Bardney Abbey, slew the monks, and devastated the country round.

$70, at Lacundon (from the event of the battle since called Threekingham), in September, Danes defeated, and three of their Kings slain, by the men of Lincolnshire, commanded by Algar Earl of Mercia: but the day following, the Danes, who had been reinforced, were victorious; whea Algar and his two Seneschals, Wybert and Leofric, were killed: after which the invaders marched to Croyland, burnt the abbey and murdered the monks. Algar was buried in Algarkirk, thence so named, and the residence of his Seneschals is recognized in the villages of Leofrington and Wiberton.

873, at Torksey, the Danes wintered, and were there visited by Burhred, King of Mercia, who purchased a short peace.

941, Stamford and Lincoln taken by Edmund I. from the Mercian Danes called the Fif-burghers from dwelling in the towns of Stamford, Lincoln, Leicester, Derby, and Nottingham.

1013, at Gainsborough, Sweyn, King of Denmark, assassinated.

1140, Lincoln surrendered to Stephen, but, whilst the articles of capitulation

were signing, the Empress Maud escaped.

1140-1, Lincoln, which had been retaken by Ralph de Gernons, Earl of Chester, and garrisoned for the Empress, again besieged (in February) by Stephen, but relieved by the Earl of Gloucester, when the King, after fighting with desperate valour, having shivered both his battle-axe and sword, was taken prisoner.
