Thyra levde i 911. Hennes liv og virke er i første halvdel av det 10. århundre. Mest kjent er hun for oppførelsen av "Danevirke", en 17 km lang kampestensmur som grense mellom Sønderjylland og Tyskland. De eneste samtidige kilder som beretter om dronning Thyra, er de to Jellingstenene. På den ene sier kong Harald Blåtann, at han satte stenen etter Gorm, sin far, og Thyra, sin mor. Innskriften p¥ den andre lyder: "Gorm konge gjorde disse kumler etter Thyra sin kone Danmarkar bot." From Snorre Sturlasson: Halfdan the Black Saga: "5. HALFDAN'S MARRIAGE WITH HJORT'S DAUGHTER. ...and the same day there was a good feast which was also Halfdan's marriage-feast with Ragnhild, who became a great queen.
