Boniface was from a noble family of Querfurt ( now in Saxony-Anhalt ).
He is rumored to have been a relative of the Holy Roman Emperor Otto III.
At the age of six he was sent to be educated in Magdeburg, seat of Adalbert of Magdeburg, the teacher and namesake of Saint Adalbert.
While still a youth he was made a canon of Magdeburg cathedral.
The fifteen-year-old Otto III made Bruno a part of his royal court.
While in Rome for Otto's imperial coronation, Bruno met Saint Adalbert of Prague, the first Apostle of the Prussians, killed a year later, which inspired Bruno to write a biography of St Adalbert when he reached the recently Christianized and consolidated Kingdom of Hungary himself.
Bruno spent much time at the monastery where Adalbert had become a monk and where abbot John Canaparius may have written a life of Saint Adalbert.
Later, Bruno entered a monastery near Ravenna, founded by Otto, and underwent severe ascetic training under the guidance of St. Romuald.
