St. George was something of an obsession for Henry VIII; his image and the cross of St. George reached new heights in his early reign, adorning almost every piece of armour he commissioned. During 1513 this coincided neatly with his will to replicate Henry V thus the veneration of Edward the Confessor saw a new following as this and other banners carried at Agincourt were removed from Westminster and taken to France once more.
