THURWOLD. Another
spelling of Anglo-Saxon Thurweald
(q.v.), meaning "Thor's power," from Thor,
god of thunder, and weald "to wield power." It is the same
as Old Norse Thorvalldr. Also
see Thorweald. Thorald
and Thorold are Middle
English forms. (Transactions of the Philological Society,
1907-1910).
"So
please you, my Liege, I do believe in the truth of the tale, for it was
extorted from the murderer even when the fangs of an incensed hound were
at his throat."
"And the churl who brought the news, one
Thurwold, or Borwold."
"Bertwold, your Grace would say; for his
fidelity, I would pledge my life." (Miss
Pen and Her Niece; or, The Old Maid and the Young One, Stone, 1843).
