Why is St. George the patron saint of England and when did he become so?
Saint George was recognized as the Patron Saint of England by the end of the fourteenth century, most likely because of the works he did there. The Legend of Saint George: The legend says that a town was terrorised by a dragon that threatened to destroy the city unless they left someone outside the walls for him to eat. To decide who to leave out names were drawn from a hat. One time it was the Princess of the city that was chosen and although the Duke tried to get it changed she had to go to the dragon. This is when St George turns up. He saves the Princess and slays the Dragon. When the Duke asks what he can do to repay him, St George only asks that they convert to Christianity, thus becoming a saint. It is more likely that St George was a travelling knight from the Germanic area in Post-Roman times. He was probably responsible for the spread of Christianity to Britain like the patron saints of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The story of St George was probably embelished in medieval times when the dragon probably came in and again in Victorian times when it was made intot he fairy tale as a way of telling it to kids.
