[thorn]egen, [thorn]egn; akin to OHG. degan a follower,
warrior, boy, MHG. degen a hero, G. degen hero, soldier,
Icel. [thorn]egn a thane, a freeman; probably akin to Gr.
te`knon a child, ti`ktein to bear, beget, or perhaps to Goth.
[thorn]ius servant, AS. [thorn]e['o]w, G. dienen to serve.]
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.
[1913 Webster]

Note: Among the ancient Scots, thane was a title of honor,
which seems gradually to have declined in its
significance. --Jamieson.
[1913 Webster]
