I am really not the expert in vecsilology (science about flags) but really it is very simple - the patron of the England is Saint George and his simbol is red cross on a white field. This is probably derived from the images of ressurecting Christ holding such a flag (Christi victor) and was used in presenting saint George in his victory over dragon (satan). As I said I am not an expert and this is a very free interpretation but I hope I was helpful.
