There is no such thing as an English Nationality,you may have been born in the part of the UK called England and consider yourself English but that is not what it will say on your birth certificate or passport. Perhaps that is why the true Scots,Irish and Welsh are proud of their nationality having a true blood line,where as very few English born people have this.
English people are made up of Romans,Angles,Saxons,Normans and quite a few others including Celts and Vikings. My surname is predominant on The Isle of Skye,my family came from Strathaird,I can trace my direct lineage back to 1705 on Skye so far. Prior to this our family were Abbott's of Iona Abbey,Lords of the Isles,involved in the 15 and 45 revolutions,imprisoned in the tower of London and SLAUGHTERED for their cause I don't consider my self antagonistic because of some ones lineage and am quite proud of my own,not being made up in that mixed bag bag that results in some people being unsure of what they are apart from taking their nationality from where they were born.

I do hope they have Scottish accents too!!! Can't see the point of the thread Lozzo TBH.

Okay, history lesson time: - There once was a lady called Elizabeth, whe was a Queen and as she was the first Queen to be called Elizabeth she was thus known as Queen Elizabeth The First. Try as she might (and she did put it around a bit!!!) she just couldn't fall pregnant & unfortunately passed away leaving no successors to all that land, money, title etc. Now, following up on some research it was established that her cousin, Mary, (who was a Queen herself - of the Scots variety) was next in line to the English throne. Unfortunately, following a bit of a family quarrell, Elizabeth had had her head lopped off a few years previous, Oops!!!!! Mary (Queen of Scots) had a son James, who was at this point known as James VI (that's sixth for those not in the know) of Scotland, who was now the rightfull heir to the English throne. He travelled down and took the crown to be henceforth known as James I. He was called the first for 2 reasons, one England hadn't had a James yet, also, although technically a VI for Scotland, he was also the first James to be crowned as part of a Union between Scotland & England. All Kings & Queens since then can trace their line back to James, so it does pose the question, Is Elizabeth II more Scottish than English?? When you bear in mind that Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (The Lovely Queen Mother R.I.P.) is 100% Scottish, then Elizabeth II is 50% Scottish. At which point in these proceedings would all my English readers like me to bring up the subject of the Germans??? Victoria's husband Albert was German, resulting in all future monarchs since then being half German, half British (which we've already established started with a Scot). ![]() ![]() |
