Have added references to King`s Thanes and ordinary Thanes / Thegns beneath. 46.15.255.198 (talk) 08:15, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kings Thane. 2. in rank.

"A king’s thane was a person of great importance" "No one but the king had the right of jurisdiction over him."

Thus 2. in rank. Source: Brittanica:

Thegn (not Kings Thane but an ordinary Thegn)

"Thegn: a Baron, or petty Prince, ruling under the Sovereign".
