Tovi the Proud (also Tofi or Tofig, Tofi pruda), fl. 1018–1043, was a rich and powerful 11th-century Danish thegn who held a number of estates in various parts of southern England. A translation of the legend of Waltham Abbey cites the Lord of Waltham as 'Tovi le Prude', "totius Angliae post regnem primus" (prude = prudent, wise, sagacious).[1] He was staller (a placeman or court office-holder) to King Cnut the Great.[2]
