Many years ago, in the times of magic and dragons, there lived a brave knight called St. George.
Hi, I’m George!

St George travelled the land looking for adventure.

One day, he met an old man who told him a strange tale.

Every day a hideous dragon demands a fair maiden from our village for his dinner.

Now, there are no fair maidens left in our village and he is demanding the King’s daughter.

We must find a
brave knight who will slay the dragon
or the King’s daughter will be killed tomorrow
night.

The King has promised his
daughter’s hand in marriage to whomever kills
the beast

After hearing the old man’s tale, St. George was determined to fight and kill the dragon, and save the princess.

He rested the night at the old man’s house and awoke at dawn to slay the dragon.

He found the dragon and as soon as St George approached the dragon, he began to roar.
Roar.

Then, he blew out great flames.

But St. George was not afraid. He struck the beast with his spear.

However, the dragon’s scales were tough and the spear broke in St. George’s hands.

St George rolled under an orange tree for protection. He didn’t realise it was a magic orange tree. It protected him from the dragon.

Finding new strength, St George ran at the dragon a second time, and wounded him under his arm, where there were no hard scales.

The dragon was dead and the princess was saved.

All the village people were overjoyed the evil dragon was dead...

...and the King was happy that his daughter had been saved.

As promised, the King granted St George permission to marry his daughter.

And St George and the princess were married, and lived happily ever after.

Because St George was so brave, he became the patron saint of England.

This means that he was made defender of England’s lands, laws, beliefs and faith. He stood for all that was good.

The red cross on his shield became the flag of England.
