The Hawkeye view of history
Hawkeye says: "Yes, the French language proved its vast superiority over Anglo-Saxon in England after Guillaume le Conquérant took over following the Hastings victory!"
Do you mean the man known at the time as "Guillaume le Batard" by any chance? He wasn't French, he was a Norman (derived from "Norse Man", i.e. a displaced Viking). As for linguistic superiority, French may have given us aviation terminology but Anglo-Saxon continues to supply all our best swear words!
