St George, a Turk who reputedly, Never set foot in England!

St. George was born to a Greek Christian family in what is now Israel. He was martyred in Asia Minor, which is now Turkey.

This was about 1000 years before the Turks showed up there.

[Vanders9]

This is a non controversy. St George is the patron saint of England, St Edmund is the patron saint of the English.

Simple. Also very profound, if you know any English history.
