Benedict

Brother Benedict was a Franciscan monk from Worcestershire during the Middle Ages. While in the Monastry's herb garden, he uncovered what he believed to be a ferret rooting around. However, it was a Jarvey, who yelled "Get out of it, baldy!", then bit him on the nose. When he related the tale to the Friar, he wasn't believed, and asked if he had been drinking Brother Boniface's Turnip Wine. Since his nose was bleeding heavily, Brother Benedict was excused from Vespers.

Brother Benedict later recorded the incident on a manuscript, which survived to the 20th century, and referenced by Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
