Who is Erchempert?

Erchempert was a monk of Monte Cassino in the south of Italy in the final quarter of the ninth century. He chronicled a history of Lombard Benevento, giving an especially vivid account of the violence surrounding his monastic retreat in his own day. Beginning with Duke Arechis I, his history, titled the Historia Langobardorum Beneventanorum degentium, stops abruptly in the winter of 888-889. Just one medieval manuscript of this text survives, from the early fourteenth century.
