Thanage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template:Short description Template:DMCA A thanage was an area of land held by a thegn in Anglo-Saxon England.[1]
Thanage can also denote the rank held by such a thegn.[1]
In medieval Scotland David I, an Anglophile, introduced "thanes" to replace the Gaelic "tòiseach". Therefore Scottish thanage denotes the land and duties held and undertaken by the thanes.[citation needed]
