This article appears in Volume V09, Page 750 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ERMOLDUS NIGELLUS, or ERMOLD THE BLACK , was a monk of Aquitaine, who accompanied King Pippin, son of the emperor Louis I., on a campaign into Brittany in 824. Subsequently he was banished from Pippin's
court
  on a charge of inciting the king against his father, and retired to Strassburg, where he sought to regain the emperor's favour by writing a poem on his
life
  and deeds. About 83o he obtained his recall, and has been identified with Hermoldus, who appears as Pippin's
chancellor
  in 838. Ermoldus was a cultured man with a knowledge of the Latin poets, and his poem, In honorem Hludovici imperatoris, has some historical value. It consists of four books and deals with the
life
  and exploits of Louis from 781 to 826. He also wrote two poems in imitation of
Ovid
 , 'which were addressed to Pippin..
His writings are published in the Monumenta Germaniae historica. Scriptores, Band 2 (Hanover, 1826 fol.); by J. P.
Migne
  in the Patrologia
Latina
 , tome Io5 (Paris, 1844); and by E. DiImmler in the Poetae
Latini
  aevi Carolini, Band 2 (Berlin, 1881-1884). See W. O. Henkel, Ober den historischen Werth der Gedichte des Ermoldus Nigellus (Eilenburg, 1876) ; W.
Wattenbach
 , Deutschlands Geschichtsquellen, Band I (Berlin, 19o4); and A. Potthast, Bibliotheca historica, pp. 430-431 (Berlin, 1896).
