- Most of the Church leaders French as well
- but mass of the inhabitants of England= English-speaking peasants
French- language of upper class for more than 200 years

- French used in writing
- Bilingualism (French landowners in isolated areas, Engl. /Fr. intermarriages among lesser nobility)
→ French used on the top and English on the bottom of the social scale
