Question

Answer 1

The Anglos and the Saxons were Germanic tribes that arrived on England after the Roman domination ended. Some came as invaders, others came as slaves, serfs, etc. They spoke their own Germanic dialects that eventually fused to become the language spoken by the people of England for centuries until the coming of William, Duke of Normandy, who invaded England in 1066, defeating king Harold and becoming William I. He spoke French and French was the language spoken in the court even in times of Edward III, in 1348.
Eventually both languages fused to become modern English, with many words of French origin
