kenny14 656 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I wonder how many of the patriotic people celebrating St. georges day realise that he wasn't English and never ever set foot on English soil? And I doubt whether he really killed a dragon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I doubt whether he really killed a dragon! He was a turkish (Anatolian) martyr who was killed by the romans. He was no more English than st Andrew is Scottish ,or st Patrick was Irish..

Some historians believe he was actually a roman soldier, and he was supposedly born in Syria not Turkey, but you just don't like him 'cos of his alleged killing of the dragon!
