Erchempert
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erchempert (also Herempert, Latin: 'Erchempertus', Italian: Erchemperto) 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 work, Historia Langobardorum Beneventanorum, stops in the winter of 888-889 suddenly.
