Thorold/Turold of Bucknall, Lincolnshire, Earl of Leicester and Sheriff of Lincoln.
Thorold, who may or may not be identical with a Thorold of Bucknall (both names are variants of the Scandinavian Thorvaldr); In the time of Ethelred's son, St Edward the Confessor, who reigned from 1042 to 1066.
He was evidenced in Domesday Book as a benefactor of Crowland Abbey, to which he gave a parcel of land at Bucknell. (The Historia Croylandensis does not mention Godgifu, but says that Thorold gave not Spalding but Bucknall to Crowland.) He was cognatus, or cousin, of Earl Algar Aelfgar of Mercia, son of Lady Godiva.
He married daughter of Willelm Malet, seigneur de Graville and Elise Crespin. Turold gave further land in Bucknell to the abbey of St Nicholas before 1079 at Angers.
He died before 1079.

A spurious charter of Crowland Abbey made Turold of Bucknall (the Sheriff) the founder of the priory of Spalding as a cell of Crowland.
