There was no hard dividing line between orthodox and Pagan worship in England at the time of < St > George’s rise to prominence. Vested authority was officially Christian, but many groups and individual priests are known to have carried out Pagan forms of worship, while the bulk of the population was Pagan, as it had always been. Apart from this ecclesiastical Paganism, the structure, the structure of royalty, nobility or chivalry was based upon ancient and deep religious foundations, generally pre-Roman. B Stewart, Where is St George?
