At the Battle of Lincoln in 1217, during the first Barons' War, the followers of King John I of England defeated the barons who had offered the English crown to Prince Louis of France (the dauphin).

Two battles near the town of Lincoln:

2 February 1141 King Stephen was defeated and captured by supporters of Matilda and taken to Bristol. The victory temporarily put Matilda ahead in the battle for the crown, but Stephen was soon exchanged for the earl of Gloucester and she was defeated at the Battle of Winchester in September.

20 May 1217 in the first Barons War, defeat of Prince Louis of France (the future King Louis VIII) and the barons by William Marshall, earl of Pembroke. The victory led to Louis being expelled from his stronghold in southeast England.
