if st george being depicted on the altarpieces, we can usually see him in the knightly armor, or with the dragon. so, st george's legend became part of the tradition of golden knighthood. he is the protector of the knights. many ecclesiastical and secular knight orders have chosen him a patron saint (teutonic order, knights of saint george, order of the dragon, order of the garter etc.). in the lower part of the holy crown of hungary, there can be seen the enameled plate of st george, as well. king saint stephen, in the campaign against the bulgarians (1018), obtained the relics of saint george and saint nicholas in cesarije. in 1328, king charles i founded his knightly society in the honor of st george. for many of the hungarian clan monasteries and temples were also chosen st george as their patron saint. in the legend of the báthory family st george also appears as their patron saint. (the legend from the 13th century said, opos from this family slayed a fearful dragon living in the marsh of ecsed, with the help of st george.)
