==Death==
Inspired by Gregory the Great, Boniface IV converted his house into a [[monastery]], where he retired and died on 8 May. He was succeeded by [[Adeodatus I]], who reversed his policy favouring monasticism. Boniface IV was buried in the portico of [[St. Peter's Basilica]]. His remains were three times removed — in the tenth or eleventh century, at the close of the thirteenth century under [[Boniface VIII]], and to the new St. Peter's on 21 October 1603.<ref name="Oestreich 1907"/> Boniface IV is commemorated as a saint in the [[Roman Martyrology]] on his feast day, 8 May.<ref name=oxford/>
