A 'See' is an administrative area overseen by a Bishop. The See has its own arms, distinct from any personally held by the Bishop at the time.
Lincoln, See of. Gu. two lions pass, guard, or, on a chief az. the Holy Virgin and Child sitting crowned and bearing a sceptre of the second.[1]
Owner - Bishop GROSSETESTE
Robert Grosseteste (1175 - 9 October 1253) was Bishop of Lincoln and has a University College in Lincoln named after him. He made significant contributions to the development of scientific thought[2].
I am assuming that his arms are argent a cross fourche pierced sable, although I do not have a documentary source to confirm this.
