SAINT BRUNO, priest, founder of the Order of St. Bruno (Carthusians)

 

He was born at Cologne, about A.D. 1030, 

- With six companions he applied to Hugh, Bishop of Grenoble, who led them into a wild solitude called the Chartreuse. There they lived in poverty, self-denial, and silence, each apart in his own cell, meeting only for the worship of God, and employing themselves in copying books. 

He died in 1101.
