Plenty of countries have better natural fortifications than England who is but one boat ride on the busiest shipping lane in the world away from it's (historically) wealthier, vaster and more populous neighbor to the south.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George%27s_Cross#Origins_and_medieval_use

>The association with the Saint of the red-on-white cross probably arises in Genoa, which had adopted these tinctures for their flag and George as their patron saint in the 12th century. A vexillum beati Georgii is mentioned in the Genovese annals for the year 1198, referring to a red flag with a depiction of St George and the dragon. An illumination of this flag is shown in the annals for the year 1227. The Genoese flag with the red cross was used alongside this "George's flag", from at least 1218, and was known as the insignia cruxata comunis Janue ("cross ensign of the commune of Janua"). The flag showing the saint himself was the city's principal war flag, but the flag showing the plain cross was used alongside it in the 1240s

hmm which 20 medieval states could this flag belong to?
