Colswein de Lincoln was born 9999 in England and died 1110 England of unspecified causes.

The English and the Norman Conquest by Ann Williams

"Other ministerial tenants-in-chief are Colswein of Lincoln and Godric dapifer. Colswein does not seem to have held any land before 1066. By 1086 he held a sizeable fief, mainly in Kesteven and to the north of Lincoln itself. His main interests seem to be in Lincoln itself, where he held four tofts which had belonged to his nephew Cola, perhaps the Col who had preceded him at Barlings. In addition the king had given him a stretch of undeveloped land outside the city, on which he had built 36 houses and two churches. One of them can be identified as St. Peter ad fontem (atte welles), to the east of Lincoln and just beyond the existing suburb of Butwerk. As with Wigot of Wallingford, we do not know what service Colswein had performed for the Conquerer, but he may have been town-reeve of Lincoln. His heir was his son Picot, who apparently died without heirs and Colswein's lands passed to Robert de la Haye, who married his daughter Muriel."
