To be honest, the last ethnically English King of England was HHarold Godwinson, who was killed in action in 1066 against William the Conqueror, the first ruler of Norman origin.

In 1917, the name of the British royal house was changed from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor because of anti-German sentiment in the United Kingdom during the First World War.
