Bruno I of Meissen

Bruno I of Meissen (died in or shortly after 1065) was Bishop of Meissen from 1046 to 1065.

The existence of Bishop Bruno I is supported by only three documents, deeds of gift from Wilhelm IV of Weimar, who was Margrave of Meissen until 1062.[1]

Most of the earlier bishops of Meissen are poorly documented. Different chroniclers have given different lists of them and thus made it more difficult to establish an accurate chronology. A Bishop Meinward was included in earlier chronologies between Eido II and Bruno I, but Meinward has been shown to be nothing more than a misplaced transcription error for Bishop Reinward (1140–1150); Bruno thus succeeded Eido directly.[1]
