If you deliberate it, you should know what I am referring to, else your knowledge of it is deficient: my answer was and is correct, save only for a memory recall of the relevent name. This king [?/not sure!] defied the french which then ruled england; at this time there was a loose primitive communication system, which was the protoypte of old english, mainly derived from the viking invasions - from which most old english words come from; an important document [?] was decreed by the french to be released in the french language; the english king himself studied and formed that document in old english, defying the french; thereafter, the people continued to use and form what became old english.
Wow, guess what, it's a science thread. That means when you make claims, you are supposed to back them up.
You still seem to insist that the "French" ruled England prior to 1066. (Provided you insist on calling the originally Viking Normans the "French") Show me any evidence that "France" occupied England prior to 1066. No book I have ever read supports this claim, and I've read dozens on English history, including the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, the original source of much of this history written by the people who were often there at the time.
This article seems to contain no glaring errors:
History of England - Wikipedia Would you consider actually reading it so you don't make wrong and unsupported claims in a science thread?
Try this on the history of the Normans for further enlightenment.
Normans - Wikipedia
Or this for the 'actual' (as opposed to the made up and unsupported) history of the English Language.
History of English - Wikipedia
I believe I linked to this site before, why can't you read it before contradicting all other sources in history?
As to any so-called King of England in 800AD would you like to know why you can't recall his name?
Because there was no single country or political entity called England in 800AD.
Disagree? show me England on this map from the above mentioned website on the history of England.
As this is a science forum, please feel free to support your claims that the 'French' ran anything in 'England' prior to 1066 or that any such unidentifiable 'King of England' imposed the English Language upon the populace around 800AD.
The rest of the world disagrees with your assessment and appears to have an endless amount of material that contradicts your position. Maybe you should
actually read something about the history prior to insinuating you know more about it than everyone else on the planet.
