Little is known of historical Saint George, but stories and legends about his bravery, such as the story of slaying a dragon, made him very famous. Many miracles were attributed to him too. It was probably Richard 1 who adopted St. George's symbol of red cross on a white background for the uniform of English soldiers. This later became the flag of England. Edward III adopted St. George as a patron of the Knights of the Garter, his new order of chivalry, and proclaimed him as a patron saint of England.
