People are very negative but they don't understand the house of windsor and how tradional it is. What else is traditional. The stockades.

    I think it's particularly hilarious that for all the talk of tradition, the house of "Windsor" was a name chosen during WWI, barely more than a century ago. The original name was "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha", but somewhat awkwardly German bombers built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik and popularly known as "Gothas" happened to be dropping explosives on London.

    To answer your query specifically, Saxe-Cokburg would have been more honest for a bunch of Anglo-Saxons
