Another Anglo-Saxon, Winfred, or Bonifacius, had been equally active among his Frisian cousins.

His crozier had gone hand in hand with the battle-axe.
Bonifacius followed close upon the track of his orthodox coadjutor Charles.

By the middle of the eighth century, some hundred thousand Frisians had been slaughtered, and as many more converted.

The hammer which smote the Saracens at Tours was at last successful in beating the Netherlanders into Christianity.

The labors of Bonifacius through Upper and Lower Germany were immense; but he, too, received great material rewards.
