Author Description

Erchempert (also Herempert, Latin: Erchempertus) was a monk of Monte Cassino in the final quarter of the ninth century. He chronicled a history of Lombard Benevento, giving especially vivid account of the violence surrounding his monastic retreat in his own day. The Historia Langobardorum Beneventanorum, stops in the winter of 888-889 suddenly. Whether this was due to his death or other circumstances is not known.
