We have no dates for Thyra. She was the wife of Gorm the Old, who was born about 890/900 and died about 958/61. She certainly died before he did. He erected a rune stone in her honor. She is called Thyra Danebod (or Dannebod), 'Denmark's ornament'. This nickname is derived from a phrase on the Jelling stones, but it is not clear whether the phrase applies to Thyra or whether this is a correct translation.
Dispute About Her Parents
Thyra·Äôs ancestry is uncertain. The Jelling stones, the only contemporary source, do not name her parents. They say:
·ÄúKing Haraldr ordered this monument made in memory of Gormr, his father, and in memory of Thyrvâ©, his mother; that Haraldr who won for himself all of Denmark and Norway and made the Danes Christian.·Äù
·ÄúKing Gormr made this monument in memory of Thyrvâ©, his wife, Denmark's adornment.·Äù
Later sources given conflicting information about her parents.
Snorri Sturluson (Heimskringla, 13th century) and Jââ¥msvââ kinga saga (also 13th century) say she was a daughter of Harald Klak, who died about 846/52, but that·Äôs not possible. Thyra·Äôs husband Gorm the Old was born about 890/900. She cannot have been the daughter of a man who died in 852. She would have been 50 years older than her husband.
Saxo Grammaticus (early 13th century) says she was a daughter of Aethelred, King of England, and a sister of Aethelstan. It is not clear which Aethelred this might have been. Aethelred I (c837-871) is too early. Thyra would have been 20 years older than her husband. Aethelred II (c968-1016) is too late. He was born after Thyra died. Saxo·Äôs story and chronology fit for Thyra to have been a sister of Aethelstan (c893-893), but he was son of Edward the Elder (869-924) not Aethelstan.
There are a number of theories that attempt to reconcile the problems. These include the following:
She was a descendant of Harald Klak, not his daughter. In this case, her parents are unknown.
She was the daughter of a different Harald, perhaps a daughter of Harald Parcus, which would mean that she was a maternal granddaughter of Aethelred I. In this case, Snorri and Saxo were both wrong. Snorri identified the wrong Harald, and Saxo was wrong about her relationship to Aethelred.
She was the daughter of a different Aethelred, perhaps a daughter of Aethelred (d. 912) who was Ealdorman of Mercia. He seems to have had an ambiguous status that would have made it possible for Saxo to call him a king. In this case, Thyra·Äôs mother could have been âÜthelflâ¶da, so Thyra would have been a great niece of Aethelred I and a cousin of Aethelstan.
She was the sister of Aethelstan, so she was the daughter of Edward not of Aethelred. In this case, she fits very well into the politics of both England and Denmark. If she was Christian, as the story says, it is more likely that she was English than Danish. Also, Edward married his daughters into many foreign families. However, the English royal family at this time almost exclusively used names that began with the letters Ae, A, and E. All of Edward·Äôs other known children have names that follow this pattern. If Thyra was a daughter of Edward, her name was probably not Thyra originally.

If√∏lge Saxo Grammatico Forlaget Danmark, 1929
Da Gorm den gamle fik raad fra landets â¶ldste, bejlede han til Thyra, en datter af den angliske konge Hedeland, men hun som var en sindigt og hââjhjertet pige , svarede: Hun ville gifte sig med Gorm, hvis ikke hun kunne fâ⢠hele Danmark til morgengave. F√∏rst da Gorm havde lovet hende det, sagde hun ja.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyra Thyra ] (correctly spelled âûyrvâ©) was the consort of King Gorm the Old of Denmark. She is believed to have led an army against the Germans. Gorm and Thyra were the parents of King Harald Bluetooth.
According to popular tradition, her daughter was captured by trolls and carried off to a kingdom in the far north beyond Halogaland and Biarmaland. Tradition also has it that before Thyra consented to marry Gorm, she insisted he build a new house and sleep in it for the first three nights of winter and give her an account of his dreams those nights. The dreams were told at the wedding banquet and as recorded, imitate the dreams Pharaoh had that were interpreted by Joseph in Genesis. Oxen came out of the sea (bountiful harvest) and birds (glory of the king to be born).

While Gorm the Old had disparaging nicknames, his wife Thyra was referred to as a woman of great prudence. Saxo wrote that Thyra was mainly responsible for building the Dannevirke on the southern border, but archeology has proven it much older.
Gorm raised a memorial stone to Thyra at Jelling, which refers to her as tanmarka but, the 'Pride' or 'Ornament' of Denmark.
Gorm and Thyra were buried under one of the two great mounds at Jelling and later moved to the first Christian church there. This was confirmed when a tomb containing their remains was excavated in 1978 under the east end of the present church.
There are contradictory accounts of Thyra's parentage. Saxo holds she was the daughter of âÜthelred, King of England[dubious ·Äì discuss] but Snorri says her father was a king or jarl of Jutland or Holstein called Harald Klak. The latter interpretation is more likely. Thyra predeceased Gorm.
