'''''Quercus robur''''', commonly known as '''Common oak''', '''Pedunculate oak''', '''European oak''' or '''English oak''', is a species of [[flowering plant]] in the beech and [[oak]] family, [[Fagaceae]]. It is [[native plant|native]] to most of [[Europe]] west of the [[Caucasus]].

In England, the English oak has assumed the status of a national emblem. This has its origins in the oak tree at [[Boscobel House]], where the future [[Charles II of England|King Charles II]] hid from his [[Roundhead|Parliamentarian]] pursuers in 1650 during the [[English Civil War]]; the tree has since been known as the [[Royal Oak]]. This event was celebrated nationally on 29 May as [[Oak Apple Day]], which is continued to this day in some communities.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/moonraking/folklore_oak_apple.shtml |title=Wiltshire - Moonraking - Oak Apple Day |publisher=BBC |date=1931-05-29 |access-date=2012-05-02}}</ref> 'The Royal Oak' is the third most popular [[pub name]] in Britain (with 541 counted in 2007)<ref>{{cite web |title=Real Ale and Pub News Features Archive |url=http://www.solihullcamra.org.uk/features_archive.htm |publisher=Solihullcamra.org.uk |date=2007-11-15 |access-date=2012-05-02 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120301171337/http://www.solihullcamra.org.uk/features_archive.htm |archive-date=1 March 2012}}</ref> and has been the name of eight major [[Royal Navy]] [[HMS Royal Oak|warships]]. The naval associations are strengthened by the fact that oak was the main construction material for sailing warships. The Royal Navy was often described as 'The Wooden Walls of Old England'<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nmm.ac.uk/collections/explore/object.cfm?ID=MEC1924 |title=National Maritime Museum |publisher=Nmm.ac.uk |access-date=2012-05-02}}</ref> (a paraphrase of the [[Wooden Walls#Classical Period|Delphic Oracle]]) and the Navy’s official quick march is "[[Heart of Oak]]".
