Saint George (Greek: Γεώργιος Georgios; c. 275/281 – 23 April 303 AD), born in Lydda, Syria Palaestina, was a soldier in the Roman army and was later venerated as a Christian martyr. His father was Gerontius, a Greek Christian from Cappadocia, and an official in the Roman army; his mother Polychronia was a Christian from Lydda. Saint George became an officer in the Roman army in the Guard of Diocletian, who ordered his death for not leaving Christianity.

Happy, St. Georges day, everybody.

That's about the extent of my interest in St George, I'm afraid - far more interesting stories around dragons in contemporary fiction. Board rules prevent me from posting anything more revealing than this, but the Queen of Dragons is easily one of the best things in the series.
