Lincoln, the most northerly of the Five Boroughs and the seat of the Danish kingdom of Lindsey, submitted to Edward in 918. The Lincoln submission completed the chain of submissions that had begun with Derby in 917. The Chronicle does not record a siege or battle at Lincoln: the military pressure of the surrounding campaigns was sufficient to force submission. Lincoln remained an important Danish cultural centre even under English rule.
