Various sources record the Saxon name as Winfrid or Winfrith. Winfrith was born probably in the last third of the seventh century in England. He entered the Benedictine monastery at Exeter, where he studied and excelled in theology, the study of Sacred Scripture, as well as grammar, rhetoric, and history. In his mid-thirties Boniface asked for and received permission to preach Christianity to the people of Friesland, an area that includes the modern Netherlands. He made several journeys there to preach and to establish missions and parishes. He was consecrated bishop, then archbishop by the Pope. Boniface's preaching against the Frisians' pagan religions and customs earned him enemies, and around the year 752, at Dokkum, a number of enemies set upon and martyred Boniface, together with several dozen of his companions.
