EUSEBIUS BRUNO. – French bishop and theologian, born at the beginning of the 11th century, died at Angers in 1081. He succeeded Hubert of Vendôme in the see of Angers in 1047, attended various councils, and was soon involved in the Berengarian controversy, which was just beginning at that time.
Berengar, as archdeacon of Angers and Bruno’s teacher, enjoyed great influence over the bishop, who was immediately accused of being his supporter. To clear himself, Bruno wrote, around 1062, a letter to Berengar in which he precisely expounds his Eucharistic faith, which is perfectly orthodox. The letter, already printed by Menard and De Roye, is reproduced in Migne: PL 147, 1201–1204.
