HE was a Scotchman by birth, and being well instructed in the
scriptures, went into Germany to preach the gospel, with two brothers.
He taught the sacred sciences at Triers, when St. Hydulphus was bishop
of that city, whom Welser and some others take for a Scot, and one of
our saint's brothers. When St. Hydulphus resigned his bishopric to end
his days in retirement in 753, St. Erhard withdrew to Ratisbon, where he
founded a small monastery, and is said to have been honored with
miracles, both living and after his death, which happened to that city.
He was commemorated on this day in Scotland, but in Germany on the 8th
of January. See Peter Merssaeus, Catal. Archiep. Trevirens. M. Welserus,
