Who said he was English!! Try reading a thread from the start rather than plunging in half way through and uninformed. I said in my first post in response to the OP that St George was a Roman soldier of Turkish origin! Link to comment

You seem very anti-English. St George is symbolic.... that is it, that is all, Nothing else to see here........ move along. Link to comment

grollies Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 We used to celebrate St. George's day every year, at school and home. Mind you it was a private school which held up English tradition. Our local pub was called The Morris Dancer, had traditional folk music live every Sunday and a folk festival every year. Unlike some on here we were once proud to be English. Sadly, no longer.

BlueScouse Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 St Edward the Confessor ( died 1066) was patron saint of England until Edward 111 adopted St, George in about 1350. Link to comment
