Is England a sovereign nation?
no, it gave up its sovereignty 1st May 1707 to the United Kingdome in the act of unison
What is the English emblem?
The "emblem" of England is the Rose and the Thistle. Theories abound as to the origin of this ubiquitous symbol of English glory. Most commonly attributed to the Crusades and the War of the Roses. More romantic historians have mythologized it a symbol of King Arthur and the mystical "Camelot". The Rose certainly, but the thistle is Scottish. The flag of England is the cross of St George, a red cross on a white ground. Indeed, however the Act of Settlement of 1701 established Scotland, Ireland and England as the United Kingdom. Therefore the Rose and Thistle became a symbol of national unity as well. It should also be pointed out the flags of Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England are flown under the Union Jack. Of course the Union Jack is the most recognizable symbol of England to the generations that followed the Act of Settlement.Of course the Union Jack always enjoys precedence above any other flag of the UK and most commonwealth countries. _______ The rose is widely regarded (at least in England itself) as the emblem of England, the thistle is a key emblem of Scotland. (By the way, the Act of Settlement 1701 regulated the succession to the throne of England. The acts uniting England and Scotland were the Acts of Union 1707 and the act uniting Great Britain and Ireland was the Act of Union 1800. - See links).
Why did England Scotland and Wales form as the UK?
Treaty of UnionIn January 1707. Known as the Treaty of Union and when it was passed the parliaments of Scotland and England ceased to exist. There would now be a Parliament of Great Britain. The majority of the Scots people did not want this but it was believed by the Scottish Parliament that it (Scotland) could no longer survive on it's own. Something of Scotland's independence remained. It was to keep it's own Church, Legal System, Education System, Royal Burghs and Courts and of course it already had it's own culture and history. But the seat of government now moved 400 miles south (to London). In June 1713, Scots peers introduced a bill to repeal the Union. It was narrowly defeated.However, Scotland would regain it's own Parliament (through a democratic vote) in 1997 with some powers devolved from the UK parliament in London.

Who was the last King of England to go to battle?
After much discussion with colleagues, family and friends it was decided that the last English king was Richard III, from the House of York. What came before was either Saxon or French and what came after was Welsh (Tudors), Scottish (Stuarts), Dutch, German and so on.All English monarchs have had non-English antecedents in their ancestry, so the question of who was and who was not English must rest on where they were born and where and how they were raised before ascending to the throne.Although Victoria was born in England, she was raised by Germans and was said to speak with a German accent. But her son, Edward, and all subsequent monarchs of Great Britain have been considered to be thoroughly English, or British.On the other hand, there has been no King or Queen, of England since the 1707 Act of Union, when the monarchs became Kings, or Queens, of Great Britain. So by that reckoning, Richard III would have been the last English Monarch of England, with the rest, before 1707 being from non-English dynasties (Welsh and Scottish) and after 1707 being Monarchs of Great Britain, not of England.This is a decent answer, but I suspect that the person asking it does not mean literally English, but just who was our last king, and that was the present Queens father George V1
