Brother Boniface was a Franciscan Monk in Worcestershire in the Middle Ages. He was known for making Turnip Wine, a highly alcoholic drink that causes the nose to bleed.

Etymology

The name "Boniface" comes from the Late Latin name Bonifatius, which meant "good fate" from bonum "good" and fatum "fate". This was the name of nine popes and also several saints, including an 8th-century Anglo-Saxon missionary to Germany (originally named Winfrid) who is now regarded as the patron saint of that country.
