Saint Boniface (born as Wynfreth, l. 672-754) is one of the most famous saints in the Netherlands. He helped Pope Gregory II (r. 715-731), who was keen to convert pagan Germanic tribes, to achieve his goal, the Christianization of Europe. He received the name Boniface ("he who does good") on 5 May 719, served as a missionary, and helped reorganize the medieval church in the Frankish kingdom.
