Bonifatios 3 was a bishop; described as preaching in Germania and converting and baptising the people there for pope Gregory II (Gregorios 72): Lib. Pont. 91. 3 (early recension: "hic in Germania per Bonifatium episcopum verbum salutis praedicavit et gentem illam sedentem in tenebris doctrina lucis convertit ad Christum, et maximam partem gentis eiusdem sancti baptismatis lavit unda". The later recension omits the mention of baptism). This person is St Boniface.
