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 ]}
