After the Norman Conquest of
After the Norman Conquest of 1066 and the installation of William, Duke of Normandy's dynasty as the new kings of England, for the first time in the history of the united kingdom its rulers no longer spoke English. Instead they spoke Norman French, a Romance language that left its mark on Modern English in the form of new vocabulary like pork, beef, castle, captain, forest. But in the new Netflix film "The King", Henry V is shown to be speaking English; and without a French accent. Is this accurate? In this video I take a look at when the kings of England stopped speaking French and started speaking English.
