The cult of St George, the patron saint of soldiers was brought to England by Crusaders returning from Palestine where he was martyred. This flag would have first been used by soldiers to recognise each other in battle. It's hard to specifically say how St George's Cross was chosen:- the symbol itself is probably ancient. In a nation of different tribes and peoples support for the Crusades would have been a rare unifying influence hence it caught on- largely in the absence of anything else. St George is legendary for slaying two Dragons to rescue a maiden. These two Dragons can be seen on London's coat of arms- which also features St George's Cross. A fitting legend for an army which may have feared the Welsh Dragon it later faced.
