Elizabeth Windsor\nPhillip Mountbatten-Windsor\n\nCharles Phillip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor, \n\nusing Prince Phillips last name of Mountbatten with that of the Queen's, Windsor.  How we know is his Marriage certificate with Lady Diana Spencer, his wife.  The same last name is used for his brothers.  However, when he becomes King, his last name (Charles only) will be Charles Phillip Arthur George Windsor.  (No Mountbatten).

In or around the early 1910's the Royals were encouraged to change their German name (Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) to the more British "Windsor."  This is because they were fighting Queen Victoria's nephew Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and the English people didn't like the idea of having Germans for their King and Queen.  Windsor Castle is one of the oldest and most respected royal residences and so the name was changed from the German Duchy's of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.  This pleased the people of England.\n\nPrince Philips family (also German) at this time changed their name from the German "Battenberg" (berg meaning mount or mountain) to the English sounding "Mountbatten."  So, basically, they kept their name the same, just changing the German "Berg" for the English "Mount."  So Philip's ancestors became Mountbattens.\n\nSo, then Philips Grandfather was ASKED to take the job as King of Greece (they needed one and he was out of work).  So, he took the job.  Then Philip was technically without a last name and known only as "Philip of Greece."  His mother, Princess Alice of Greece was now a Greek Orthodox nun and led a very strict, almost monastic (like monks lead) life.  She had no fine clothes or jewels, preferring to dress in nuns habits and live with her family.  When Philip's uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India invited him to live in England, he couldn't refuse and moved with his mother.\n\nWhen he married Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, she was unable to change her last name because she outranked him.  However, she offered a truce.  She would allow "some" of the children to be named Mountbatten as long as enough to "ensure the succession of the throne were named Windsor."  In other words, as long as a Windsor sat on the Throne, he could name the other children Mountbatten.  However, this DID NOT GO WELL with Prime Minister and others and it did not happen.  I believe he was then offered to hypenate the last names of the last 2 or 3 children, but he refused that.  So, the Windsor name is secure still.\n\nSorry, got to rambling.

He was an outlaw, a political activist against Prince John's tyrannical rule, the worlds first welfare worker and the world's first super hero!\n\nIn fact, there was no real person called "Robin Hood".  Over the centuries, his story and folklore grew from a number of personalities that did "right and just things" for the poor when England needed a hero.\n\nHe evolved over time to who he is known as today.... Errol Flynn!  He was the best Robin Hood as far as I'm concerned.\n\nDid you also know that the gallows oak is real...... there is a 1000 year old oak tree in what is in the legendary Sherwood Forest.  \nThey are actually selling seedlings from this tree.  It was actually used for hangings!!
