The story of England's patron saint is so encased in myth and legend that the truth of his remarkable life is unknown. A Christian martyr, murdered by a Roman emperor in Palestine, he is a legendary dragon-slayer who saved a virgin princess from sacrifice - but he is also the model for mythical Islamic hero al-Khidr. He never set foot on English soil and the legend of his knightly deeds came from the imagination of a bishop in Italy. Who is the real man behind the myth? Did St George actually exist or was he merely the hero in an epic tale of derring-do?
