Fosite and Forseti are the same god of justice and assembly — the Frisian deity whose sacred spring on Fositesland demanded silence from all who drank, and the Norse arbiter who settles every dispute brought before him in his golden hall Glitnir.
⚠ The identification rests on name etymology and shared judicial associations. Some scholars consider the evidence insufficient for a direct cognate relationship, as Fosite's mythology is largely unattested beyond Alcuin's brief mention.
