Of course, the Queen is from the house of Windsor (is that where the
name cames from?

Yes. Although this chair is from Suffolk (SE coast), the "typical"
mass-market Windsors in the UK were made and sold around the Windsor
area.

The Queen's bizarre history of names are the result of a country that
doesn't much like foreigners finding itself ruled by offshoots of
European minor nobility. They deliberately renamed themselves from the
German "Battenburg" to the more English-sounding "Mountbatten" to
avoid being mistaken for a cheap pink cake. Swapping "Schleswig-
Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg" with a side-order of "Saxe-Coburg
Gotha" for "Windsor" makes it easier for our illiterate tabloids to
spell.
