Eoban (died 5 June 754 at Dokkum) was a companion of St. Boniface, and was martyred with him on his final mission.
The Fulda martyrology mentions him as a bishop,[2] as does the Vita tertia Bonifatii.
[3] According to the Vita Bonifatii auctore Willibaldo, on the morning of 5 June 754, Boniface and 50 others, presumably including Eoban (none of the companions are mentioned by name in the Vita), were killed at Dokkum (The Netherlands) by pagan Frisians.
[4] After 756 the relics of the bishops of Utrecht Eoban and Adalar were transferred to Fulda, and buried next to St. Boniface.
The Sarcophagus containing the relics of the saints Adalar and Eoban in the Erfurt Cathedral is dated from about 1350.
