What are you talking about, Jack? The French took over England in 1066! Of course they speak French there now!

Some say it was only because the plague affected the royal courts and monasteries more than farmers n the field that English (the farmer’s language) even survived in the British Isles – for a while there it was slowly dying out. Funny how pandemics can change things, eh?
