Dear all
I have ccd this to Vladimir Moss, a leading expert, for him to correct any
inaccuracies.
No, in fact the patron saints, as established at the Council of Chelsea in
759 (if memory serves) of England are:
1. Gregory the Great, Pope of Rome, who sent
2. St. Augustine, First Archbishop of Canterbury, Apostle to the English;
and
3. Hieromartyr, Boniface of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, and Apostle to
the Germans.
Interestingly enough part of Chelsea and its environs remained part of the
Royal Demesne through to the reign of St. Edward the Confessor (died 1066)
(and to whom I am related via Margaret of Scotland and Robert the Bruce).
The Royal Arms of the time, a Single Lion holding a bishop's stave, are
still in use by a descendant of his, Viscount Chelsea. The then Viscount
Chelsea allowed it to be used by Chelsea Football Club in its arms and
badge, when it was founded in 1905. This club is on ground which formed part
of the Royal Demesne at Chelsea. Given the presence of Stamford Brook there
(hence Stamford Bridge), this is quite likely to be the exact location
of the Council of Chelsea. The current Club Badge is based on this
lion holding a bishop's stave, as has been stated in official publications
(including club programmes). So, actually, as a lifelong supporter of my
most local club I am very happy that it has the most holy and exalted
English origins in its club badge (in contrast with the evil evocation of
the devil by the Red Devils, Manchester United). The Council of Chelsea is
widely regarded as the southern equivalent of the Synod of Whitby which
confirmed the universal Christian calendar and Easter celebration dates (in
line with the First Ecumenical (or Universal) Council at Nicaea confirmed by
every other Ecumenical Council since. This is currently 13 days behind the
current global civil calendar. It is still used as the Civil Calendar on
Mount Athos, Greece.
Edward the Confessor's deathbed prophecy, properly understood, stated that
Orthodox England would be destroyed and a false king, bishops and nobles
would be crowned a year and a day after his death. The date of the crowning
of the Romanist (more correct than "Roman Catholic" (and therefore
pseudo-Christian) false king of England, Guillaume Le Batard (William the
Bastard). It also indicates an eventual, though very distant, restoration.
This has not yet happened.
The "Three Lions" (on a shirt, nowadays) - and notably without the bishop's
stave would seem to be added to represent the Plantagenet dynasty (itself an
offshoot of the Normans). It was the Romanist crusaders who invoked St.
George's aid in their successful siege of Antioch during the Crusades. These
Normans then imposed him as "England's Patron Saint".
All of this is a matter of public record.
So it's time English Heritage improved its research!
Yours
