A dignitary
under the Anglo-Saxons and Danes in England. Of these there were two
orders, the king's thanes, who attended the kings in their courts and held
lands immediately of them, and the ordinary thanes, who were lords of
manors and who had particular jurisdiction within their limits. After the
Conquest, this title was disused, and baron took its
place.
