[edit] citation
I have moved this text here:
- The Norse service was related to the Frisian service and is thought to have originated from Frisia.
The source on which this is based says:
- About 700 AD the cultural relations between Frisia and southern Norway were tight enough to enable the Fosite-cult to move north to the Oslofjord (Vries, J. de, Altgermanische Religionsgeschichte, band II, Berlin, 1957)
The source says that the cult *could have* moved from Frisia to Norway, which frankly says nothing since it could have moved there from Germany too. I do not disagree with the possibility that Forseti originated in Frisia only with the assertiveness that the text refers to a very tentative source.--Berig 15:02, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Forseti vs. Fosite
The identification of Forseti and Fosite is less than trivial. Careful attribution is needed. dab (𒁳) 16:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
