The United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Great
Britain or Britain is an island situated to the northwest of Continental Europe. It is the ninth largest
island in the world, the largest European island, and the largest of the British Isles. With a population of about 60.0 million
people in mid-2009, it is the third most populous island in the world, after Java and Honshū. Great Britain is surrounded
by over 1,000 smaller islands and islets. The island of Ireland lies to its west. Politically, Great Britain may also refer
to the island itself together with a number of surrounding islands which comprise the territory of England, Scotland and
Wales. 
All of the island is territory of the sovereign
state of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and most of the United Kingdom's territory is in Great
Britain. Most of England, Scotland, and Wales are on the island of Great Britain, as are their respective capital cities:
London, Edinburgh, and Cardiff. 
The Kingdom of Great Britain resulted from
the political union of the kingdoms of England and Scotland with the Acts of Union 1707 on 1 May 1707 under Queen Anne. In
1801, under a new Act of Union, this kingdom merged with the Kingdom of Ireland to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland. After the Irish War of Independence most of Ireland seceded from the Union, which then became the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 
The History
of the House of Windsor The
House of Windsor is the royal house of the Commonwealth realms. It was founded by King George V by royal proclamation on the
17 July 1917, when he changed the name of his family from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (a branch of the House of Wettin)
to the English Windsor, due to the anti-German sentiment in the United Kingdom during World War I. Currently, the most prominent
member of the House of Windsor is Queen Elizabeth II, the reigning monarch of the Commonwealth realms. 
Edward VII, and, in
turn, his son, George V were members of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a German ducal family, by virtue of their descent
from Albert, Prince Consort, husband of Queen Victoria. High anti-German sentiment amongst the people of the British Empire
during World War I reached a peak in March 1917, when the Gotha G.IV, a heavy aircraft capable of crossing the English Channel
began bombing London directly. The aircraft became a household name, and the name Gotha was part of the name of the royal
family, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. These bombings were coupled with the abdication of King George's first cousin, Nicholas II, the
Tsar of Russia on 15 March 1917, which raised the spectre of the eventual abolition of all the monarchies in Europe. The King
and his family were finally convinced to abandon all titles held under the German Crown, and to change German titles and house
names to anglicised versions. Hence, on 17 July 1917, a royal proclamation issued by George V declared: Now, therefore, We, out of Our Royal
Will and Authority, do hereby declare and announce that as from the date of this Our Royal Proclamation Our House and Family
shall be styled and known as the House and Family of Windsor, and that all the descendants in the male line of Our said Grandmother
Queen Victoria who are subjects of these Realms, other than female descendants who may marry or may have married, shall bear
the said Name of Windsor Upon
hearing that his cousin had changed the name of the British royal house to Windsor, German Emperor Wilhelm II remarked jokingly
that he planned to see Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.The name had a long association with British
royalty, through the town of Windsor, Berkshire and Windsor Castle, a link reflected in the Round Tower of Windsor Castle
being the basis of the badge of the House of Windsor. Also in 1917 Prince Louis of Battenberg adopted the surname Mountbatten,
a partial translation into English. Prince Louis is the maternal grandfather of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. From 1917
to 1919, George V also stripped 15 of his German relations - most of whom belonged to the House of Hanover - of their British
titles and styles of prince and princess. 
Descendants
of Elizabeth II When
Princess Elizabeth (as she then was) married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, the standard practice would be to adopt
the name of his royal house. Because he was a prince, Prince Philip did not have a surname but he was of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg,
a branch of the House of Oldenburg, and that ruled or rules as Kings of Greece, Denmark and Norway. Not wishing to repeat
the difficulties of three decades previous, before his marriage Prince Philip renounced his titles and adopted the surname
Mountbatten, the literal translation of the German Battenberg that his maternal grandfather had adopted in 1917. The Mountbatten
- Battenberg name refers to Battenberg, a small town in Hesse. 
On 9 April 1952, Queen Elizabeth
II officially declared her "Will and Pleasure that I and My children shall be styled and known as the House and Family
of Windsor, and that my descendants who marry and their descendants, shall bear the name of Windsor." On 8 February 1960,
the Queen confirmed that she and her children would continue to be known as the House and Family of Windsor, as would any
agnatic descendants who enjoy the style of Royal Highness, and the title of Prince or Princess. Still, Elizabeth also decreed
that her agnatic descendants who do not have that style and title would bear the surname Mountbatten-Windsor. Any future monarch
can change the dynastic name through a similar royal proclamation, as royal proclamations do not have statutory authority.  
The
History of the House of Wettin The House of Wettin is a dynasty of German counts, dukes,
prince-electors (Kurfürsten) and kings that once ruled the area of today's German states
of Saxony, the Saxon part of Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia for more than 800 years as well as holding
at times the kingship of Poland. Agnates of the House of Wettin have, at various times, ascended
the thrones of Great Britain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Poland, Saxony, and Belgium; of these, only the British and Belgian
lines retain their thrones today. The oldest member of the House of Wettin who is known for certain
was Thiedericus (died 982), who was probably based in the Liesgau (located at the western edge
of the Harz). Around 1000, as part of the German conquest of Slavic territory, the family acquired
Wettin Castle, after which they named themselves. Wettin Castle is located in Wettin in the Hosgau
on the Saale River. Around 1030, the Wettin family received the Eastern March as a fief. The
prominence of the Wettin family in the Slavic marches caused Emperor Henry IV to invest them with
the March of Meissen as a fief in 1089. The family advanced over the course of the Middle Ages: in
1263 they inherited the landgraviate of Thuringia (though without Hesse), and in 1423 they were invested with the
Duchy of Saxony, centred at Wittenberg,thus becoming one of the prince-electors of the Holy Roman
Empire.  The family divided into two ruling
branches in 1485 when the sons of Frederick II, Elector of Saxony divided the territories hitherto
ruled jointly. The elder son Ernest, who had succeeded his father as Prince-elector, received
the territories assigned to the Elector (Electoral Saxony) and Thuringia, while his younger brother
Albert obtained the March of Meissen, which he ruled from Dresden. As Albert ruled under the title
of "Duke of Saxony", his possessions were also known as Ducal Saxony. The older, Ernestine
branch remained predominant until 1547 and played an important role in the beginnings of the
Protestant Reformation. Their predominance ended in the Schmalkaldic War, which pitted the Protestant Schmalkaldic
League against Emperor Charles V. Although itself Protestant, the Albertine branch rallied to the Empire's
cause; Charles V rewarded them by forcing the Ernestines to sign away their rights to the Electoral
title and lands to the Albertines. 
The Ernestine line was thereafter
restricted to Thuringia, and its dynastic unity swiftly crumbled. The Albertine Wettin maintained
most of the territorial integrity of Saxony, preserving it as a significant power in the region,
and using small appanage fiefs for their cadet branches, few of which survived for significant
lengths of time. The Ernestine Wettin, on the other hand, repeatedly subdivided their territory,
creating an intricate patchwork of small duchies and counties in Thuringia. The junior Albertine branch ruled as Electors (1547-1806) and Kings of Saxony (1806-1918)
and also played a role in Polish history: two Wettin were Kings of Poland (between 1697-1763)
and a third ruled the Duchy of Warsaw (1807-1814) as a satellite of Napoleon. After the Napoleonic
Wars, the Albertine branch lost about 40% of its lands, including the old Electoral Saxony, to
Prussia, restricting it to a territory coextensive with the modern Saxony.
