        First it wasn’t “French” it was Norman French, a related but different language. And second, while Norman French was the language of the courts/elite, the concept of an “official” language didn’t exist at the time

        I didn't have history in my College packet; but this was somewhere after the Romans killed the ancient British and all Druids?https://twitter.com/PlatoMachiaveli/status/1043694051621588993 …

        Yes. The Romans invaded Britain in 43 AD. Their empire had ceased to exist in Western Europe centuries before the Normans invaded in 1066, introducing their language

        In between those dates the Anglo-Saxons settled in roughly the area now known as England, introducing Old English. And the Norse later conquered much of the British Isles, their rule being especially strong in northern England.

        It was not the official language. How dare you. It was spoken by the 5% upper classes and royalty. Not the 95% commoners.
