1. This saint was never actually canonized: The Carthusians, Bruno's religions order, spurned public displays of honor, but the feast day is still celebrated by the Carthusians, and the feast day was placed in the calendar in 1623.
2. Speaking of the Carthusians, that's the order that Bruno founded with 6 companions in Grenoble, roughly following the rule of St. Benedict.
3. Despite his love for the eremitical life, Bruno was still a popular person, called to Rome to be an advisor to the pope (he begged to go back to his life), and then as an archbishop (which he refused).
