À propos de cet audio
Following the epic saga of the Norman Conquest last time, today we're diving into an even deeper story — a “cultural takeover” like no other. In 1066, the Normans didn’t just seize England’s land and crown; they shook up the language game big time.
During over three centuries of Norman rule, French was the “fancy” language — the one that screamed power and high society. Meanwhile, good old Anglo-Saxon (Old English) got shoved down the ladder and was seen as the rough, common “peasant talk.”
So buckle up and join us as we uncover this wild language flip-flop that forever changed the face of English!
