Not entirely there were Roman British leaders after the fall of the Roman Empire that fit the mythos, it was Mallory et al that really turned into fiction with all that Mort D'Arthur rubbish

No it isn't, I think I would know if it was deliberate

Your question should be, for how many generations has QE2's direct ascendents been here? Depending on which side you go, only 4 or 5.

The Dragon wasn't English though.

In line with many first and second generation immigrant families, she probably calls herself "British" rather than English.
