Thanage

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]
