It occurs to me that England's main banner looks a lot like the banner of the Knights Templar from the Crusades. It always was rumored that many Templars escaped persecution in France and the Mainland Europe by fleeing to England. It could be they who influenced England's banner from being the Red field and three golden lions to being the White field and red cruciform.
