The purpose of this essay is to examine the uses of history between three different monuments, in three various countries. The statues up for examination is the statue of Saint George and the dragon in the Great Church of Stockholm, the Cavalry of the Empire Memorial in London and the statue of Saint George and the dragon at Prague Castle. To make this study possible three different uses of history has been applied: a existential use, a ideological use and a religious use. In order to get as good results as possible I have utilized a comparative method. The main questions for this essay is: (1) why has Saint George been depicted and what do the monuments represent? (2) How does the use of Saint George differ between different countries with different beliefs within Christianity? (3) In what way can depictions of Saint George be used in history education? The results have been that the catholic heritage in all three countries has played a crucial role for depicting Saint George. When the monuments were made also seems to have been decisive for how they chose to illustrate the statues. Furthermore, the changes made through history in religious beliefs has changed the view of not only the saint, but also of depictions of him. Since historical consciousness and use of history is a big part of history teaching in Sweden, there is little trouble incorporating these monuments in the education in school. It would on the contrary be very beneficial for pupils to see how not only how history can be used, but also how writing history can change the original purpose of the monuments.
