• Notes

  Thored was a 10th century ealdorman of York, ruler of the southern half o f t h e o l d K ingdom of Northumbria on behalf of the king of England. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Thored, son of Gunner" ravaged W e s t m o reland in 966. There are speculations that "Thored was Earl of th e p a r t o f N orthumbria which was previously called Deira, maybe Yorkshir e, t h e t e r ritory being different from Northumbria.
