Yes, Thyra was a very prominent personality and would have been a power of her own. She contributed to gathering the Danish Kingdom. There is a reason I think that she is more prominent in the myths, sagas and stories than her husband. Four runestones in the local area also suggest she would have been the daughter of a local petty king., Chief or King, Earl. Unfortunately, we do not know who.
Thank you so much for sharing this interesting video, Sigrid. It's fascinating to see how new technology can keep revealing the past. Thyra must have been a very powerful woman. Glad to know she was my 28th GGM.
