Original Note:
The "Croce di San Giorgio" was borrowed during the Crusades: Richard the Lionheart who adopted both the flag and the patron saint from the city of Genoa, in Italy’s northern Liguria region. It replaced the Plantagenet "three lions" Coat of Arms, unknown in Mediterranean. https://theculturetrip.com/europe/italy/articles/how-england-ended-up-stealing-the-flag-of-genoa https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/05/england-owes-arrears-over-st-georges-cross-claims-genoa-mayor
