England Flag Meaning & History

The English flag has one of the longest histories of any national banner. The first conclusive historical account of the flag’s design is from 1277 in a financial account. It noted that cloth had been bought to create identifying marks showing the Cross of Saint George for Edward I’s soldiers.

In 1606, this design was combined with the Scottish St. Andrew’s Cross flag to form the first iteration of the Union Jack. The Irish St. Patrick’s Cross was added later in 1801.

The red cross is a symbol of Saint George, a member of the Praetorian Guard for the Emperor Diocletian. He became a martyr after being killed for refusing to renounce his Christian faith.

England Flag vs UK Flag
