Saint Boniface of Mainz (680-754) was also known by the names Wynfrith or Winfrid. He roamed from his original home in what is now Devonshire, England, so souther Germany, leading the life of a holy teacher and traveler. He was known for founding several monasteries, and eventually became a patron saint of Germany and of brewers.
