Bruno (3) (2)
Bruno
archbishop of Cologne and duke of Lorraine, son of the Emperor Henry the Fowler and brother of Otho I, was born in 925. He was well read in classical literature, and was a patron of learned men, and of education generally. Having been employed by his brother in many important negotiations, he died at Rheims Oct. 11, 965. His life, written by Ruotger, a Benedictine who lived with him, is given in Surius, Oct. 11, and in Pertz, Monum. Germ. Hist. 4, 252. The Commentary on the Pentateuch and the Lives of the Saints, sometimes attributed to him, were probably the work of Bruno of Segni. More recently his life has been written by the Bollandists in the Acta Sanctorum, Oct., tom. 5 (Bruss. 1786), and by Pieler, Bruno I, Erzbischof von Koln (Arnsberg, 1851).

Bruno (2)
called also BONIFACE, apostle of the Prussians, by extraction a Saxon nobleman, was born 970, and was called by the Emperor Otho III to his court, and appointed his chaplain about 990. Romualdus the monk (founder of the Camaldules) came to court, and Bruno, at his own request, was admitted into his order, and departed with him (A.D. 1000). Having spent some time at Monte Cassino, and at Piraeum, near Ravenna, he was sent forth to preach to the infidels, and the pope made him Archbishop of the Heathen. He labored incessantly, exposed to every peril and privation, among the Poles and Prussians; but, after meeting with some success and converting a prince of the country, he was martyred, together with eighteen companions, in 1009. He is mentioned in the Roman Martyrology on the 15th Oct., and again as St. Boniface on the 19th June. See his life in Mabillon, Saec. Bened. 6, 79. Pertz, Monum. Germ. 6, 577 sq.; Butler, Lives of Saints, June 19, 2:600; Mosheim, Ch. Hist. 2, 139; Voigt, Geschichte Preussens, 1, 280 sq.

Bruno (3)
founder of the order of Carthusians, was born at Cologne about 1040, of rich parents. In 1073 he became chancellor of the Church at Rheims and professor of divinity, having direction of the studies in all the great schools of the diocese. Among his pupils was Odo, afterward Urban II. About 1077 he joined in an accusation against Manasses, the simoniacal archbishop of Rheims, who deprived him of his canonry. Disgusted with the corruptions of the clergy and of the times, Bruno retired into solitude and built a hermitage, which afterward became the celebrated monastery of the Chartreuse. Bruno lived but six years at the Chartreuse; at the end of that period he was called to Rome by Urban II; and, having refused the bishopric of Reggio, retired, in 1095, into Oalabria, where he died, Oct. 6, 1101, at La Torre. He was canonized by Pope Leo X in 1514, and his festival is kept on the 6th of October. The works attributed to him were published at Paris in 1524, and again at Cologne (1611. 3 vols. fol.). Hook, Eccl. Biog. 3, 185; Mosheim, Ch. Hist. 2, 178 note; Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, 7, 630. SEE CARTHUSIANS.
