Explore the history of the English flag
The flag of England, also known as St. George's Cross, is one of the oldest national flags in the world. The design consists of a red cross on a white background and has been associated with England for hundreds of years. Here are some interesting facts about the history of the English flag:
• The flag of England was first used in the 1100s during the Crusades, when English soldiers wore a red cross on their white uniforms as a sign of their participation in the holy wars.
• In 1188, the flag was officially recognized as the flag of England during the Third Crusade. *St. George's Cross is named after England's patron saint, St. George, who legendarily killed a dragon to save a princess.
• During the Middle Ages, the English flag was used as a merchant flag and was displayed on English ships trading in the North Sea and the Mediterranean.
• During the Tudor period, the flag of England became increasingly associated with the English royal family and was often flown over palaces and castles.
• After the Act of Union in 1707, the English flag was combined with the Scottish flag (St. Andrew's Cross) to create the Union Jack, which is still the flag of Great Britain.

Frequently asked questions
What is the original English flag?
The original English flag is St George's Cross, also known as the England flag or St George's flag. This flag is white with a red cross and has been the symbol of England since the Middle Ages. The cross is based on the legend of St. George, a Roman soldier who, according to tradition, defeated a dragon and thus protected Christianity. The cross is a symbol of his sword.
Why does England have two flags?
England has two flags because Great Britain consists of four countries, each with its own national symbols and identity: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The St George's Cross is the flag of England. And the Union Jack, the combined flag, is the flag of Great Britain.
