What does England's flag stand for?
England's flag is the red cross of St George, the patron saint of England.
Because the English Flag is Based on the Genoan Flag
* The original St. George's flag, a red cross on a white field , was adopted by the Republic of Genoa in 1099, after the first crusade.
* Then, it was adopted by England and the City of London, in 1190, for use on their ships entering the Mediterranean Sea to benefit from the protection of the Geonoese fleet.
* The English Monarch paid an annual tribute to the Doge of Genoa for this privilege.
* Since then, that flag remains as both Genoa's & England's flag.
