It is well represented in two facts; the barbaric refusal of the new astronomical calendar merely because it was invented by a Pope, and the singular decision to pronounce Latin as if it were something else, making it not a dead language but a new language.

Later, the part played by particular royalties is complex and accidental; "the furious German" came and passed; the much less interesting Germans came and stayed.

Their influence was negative but not negligible; they kept England out of that current of European life into which the Gallophil Stuarts might have carried her.

Only one of the Hanoverians was actively German; so German that he actually gloried in the name of Briton, and spelt it wrong.

Incidentally, he lost America.
It is notable that all those eminent among the real Britons, who spelt it right, respected and would parley with the American Revolution, however jingo or legitimist they were; the romantic conservative Burke, the earth-devouring Imperialist Chatham, even, in reality, the jog-trot Tory North.
