Basically spent most of his time crusading in the middle east. I believe he also fought for the roman empire at one stage.

St George is also the patron saint for 7 other countries including Canada, Georgia and Macedonia.

Also he wasn't English, I believe he was infact Turkish.

Decided to google to see how much I got right and what I got wrong.

Scrap Macedonia. St. George is the patron saint of Safita, Aragon, Canada, Catalonia, China, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Montenegro, Palestine, Portugal, Russia, and Serbia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organisations and disease sufferers.

2 very different time frames.

He was Roman - but it was around the time of the Crusades that he became recognised as our Patron saint.

I did googe I'm afraid - but I thought it would be nice for us non English folks to know a bit about the man:

c.300 AD, St George, patron saint of England
England's patron saint, a fourth century Christian martyr, is also patron saint of Georgia and the city of Moscow.
Very little is known about the real St George. He is thought to have been born into a noble Christian family in the late third century in Cappadocia, an area which is now in Turkey. He followed his father's profession of soldier and became part of the retinue of the Emperor Diocletian. The emperor ordered the systematic persecution of Christians and George refused to take part. In 303, he was himself tortured and executed in Palestine, becoming an early Christian martyr.
The legend of George slaying a dragon and rescuing an innocent maiden from death is medieval. St George's Day is celebrated in England on 23 April, reputed to be the day of George's martyrdom in 303

History isn't my strongest subject so after posting what I thought was correct I checked my friend wikipedia and it said the following:

Saint George
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Christian hagiography Saint George (ca. 275-281 – April 23, 303[2]) was a soldier of the Roman Empire, from the then Greek-speaking Anatolia, now modern day Turkey, and is venerated as a Christian martyr

Guess I'm not the only one for whom history is a weak subject.
