[MR] BBC: St. Edmund to Replace St. George as England's Patron?

[Groff, Garth (ggg9y)]

M'Lord Stefan,

While this doesn't quite answer your question, the following Wikipedia link does have some information about the English obsession with St. George: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronages_of_Saint_George#England .

I sincerely doubt that our Corpra would ever entertain the idea of an SCA patron saint. The SCA has to tiptoe carefully around religion(s) to avoid offering offense to anyone, and that is certainly the way it should be. 

Yours Aye,

Lord Mungo Napier, The Archer of Mallard Lodge

So how? why? did the first St. George become the patron saint of England?

Thanks,
Stefan
Is there a good candidate to be a patron saint of the SCA?
