That's "Stewart" The other spelling was introduced by Mary, to make sure the French got it right -as a nation, they hadn't invented "w's" at that time. And her holdings were assumed by the Hanovers, at her death, not the Windsors... Windsor being a made-up name anyway, for much the same reasons, in 1917. It was felt that, in the middle of World War 1, having a royal family with the name "House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha", might be just the teeniest bit politically incorrect.

quote: ORIGINAL: jlf1961 The house of Stuart are the legitimate Royal Family, since they forced James II to abdicate after he was overthrown in the Glorious Revolution. Therefore, the House of Windsor are nothing more than usurpers. James II wasnt the last Stuart on the throne. His daughter Mary and her husband William followed. Then after that it was his daughter Anne ( The first monarch of Great Britain ). The act of settlement prevented a Catholic from taking the throne and George I was Queen Annes closest Protestant relative. The English Bill of Rights came about due to James disdain for the law. As for usurpers, the chain of English Kings and Queens is full of them.
