Life
Nortyla of Verden, also called Nortilas, is remembered as bishop of Verden in Lower Saxony. On the authority of Camerarius the Bollandists enter him on 22 May as saint and martyr; Bruschius only mentions him, without giving him the title of saint. The day follows the Julian calendar.
In the life of Saint Suitbert, bishop of Verden, mention is made of the translation of Nortyla's remains, with those of other holy bishops, to a new tomb in 1630 by Francis William, bishop of Verden. No other details are known. His veneration is uncertain; the source shows no synodal canonization.
