'''Thegn''' is a term given to landholders who owe [[military]] service to a [[lord]] or [[king]]. Thegn replaced the term '''gesith''' during the middle [[Anglo-Saxon]] period of [[England|English]] history. The role of the thegn consisted of both statecraft and warrior, but became overshadowed by the introduction of the [[Housecarle]] class.
