ST GEORGE

St George is the tutelary St of England, Portugal and Aragon, and was the patron St of chivalry in Europe in medieval times. He was a reputed native of Cappadocia and rebuked Diocletian for his persecution of Christians. He was arrested, tortured and executed at Nicomedia in 303. The tradition of St George with a Dragon dates from the 6th century.
