What Happened to the Old (Medieval) English Flag?

While ultimately less well know than the "Union Flag", more commonly referred to as simple the British Flag, St George's red cross on a white field is the national flag of England and the English. But for much of the Middle Ages, it wasn't the only one used by the kingdom of England, and St George had to contend with the like of St Edmund and St Edward for prime position as "the" flag of England.
