So Edward VII (son of Queen Victoria) and his son, George V (until his
1917 proclamation), ruled as the House of SCG. In 1917, however, George V
issued this proclamation: "Now, therefore, We, out of Our Royal Will and
Authority, do hereby declare and announce that as from the date of this Our
Royal Proclamation Our House and Family shall be styled and known as the House
and Family of Windsor, and that all the descendants in the male line of Our
said Grandmother Queen Victoria who are subjects of these Realms, other
than female descendants who may marry or may have married, shall bear the
said Name of Windsor..."
An early example of a Deed Poll :-)
