Description

Ekkehard I the Elder , also called Ekkehard I of St. Gall, Ekkehard also spelled Ekkehart , (born c. 910, Toggenburg?, Alemannia [now in Switzerland]—died Jan. 14, 973, Sankt Gallen), teacher, monk, hymnist, and poet whom some scholars regard as the author of Waltha rius, a celebrated Latin heroic poem based on the life of King Walter of Aquitaine. Of noble birth, Ekkehard was educated at the Benedictine monastery of Sankt Gallen (St. Gall) in Switzerland , then one of Europe’s greatest centres of learning, at which he later taught.
