English Dictionary:
- 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.
