Other kinds of evidence show us that Tyr was once one of the most important gods to the Norse and other Germanic peoples. His role in the surviving Viking Age myths is relatively slight, and his status in the later part of the Viking Age may have been correspondingly minor. Tyr (pronounced like the English word “tier” Old Norse Týr, Old English Tiw, Old High German *Ziu, Gothic Tyz, Proto-Germanic *Tiwaz, “god” ) is a Norse war god, but also the god who, more than any other, presides over matters of law and justice.
