Windsor Castle #2 (1975)
The British royal family took its current surname from Windsor Castle. Queen Victoria, the descendant of a German king, had the surname of Saxe-Coburg Gotha. That caused a bit of embarrassment during World War I, so King George V wisely decided to assume the very English name of Windsor (which came from the Saxon village of Windlesora, near the site of the castle).
