Hola

> Alquien me puede decir que es un Thane?

Es un titulo destinado a una especie de "noble menor" por llamarlo de alguna forma, los mas conocidos son los weaponthanes, que son guerreros profesionales. Seguramente derive de alguna palabra anglosajona o nordica antigua.
No creo que tenga traduccion directa en castellano, aunque quiza exista la palabra castellanizada.

En principio lo dejaria sin traducir hasta ver si existe algo en castellano parecido, lo unico que no se como se pronunciaria.

Seguramente encuentres mas palabras de esta naturaleza entre la cultura heortilinga, entre otras puedes toparte con carl, cottar, thrall, tula, godi(godar en plural)...

Aqui te suelto algunos datos mas sobre la palabra sacados de un diccionario en internet:

Thane \Thane\ (th[=a]n), n. [OE. thein, [thorn]ein, AS. [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.
Note: Among the ancient Scots, thane was a title of honor, which seems gradually to have declined in its significance. --Jamieson.

thane n 1: a feudal lord or baron in Scotland 2: a man ranking above an ordinary freeman and below a noble in Anglo Saxon England especially one who gave military serve in exchange for land
