The English Horn is not a horn nor was it invented in England. It is a woodwind and was created in Poland (Silesia at the time). Also the French Horn was created in Germany, although it is at least a horn.
My aggressively pedantic music theory prof in college insisted that “French” was incorrectly applied to the horn and that we should instead call it the Horn in F. She did not play the horn.
