Basically there are two trains of thought. He was either a Roman soldier or if German ansestry. After fighting the religious cause he became a Christian martyr.

He was later sainted by the pope, and later was taken as the patron saint of England.

@Masterseekingone: thank you.. Why was he sainted by the pope, who is catholic, and most of England is not..?
