  Old English was like a least complicated German. It was the Norman French who fucked it up. Never forget 1066.

    The Normans just spoke French, it’s everybody else who fucked it up by going halfsies about it!

    That’s a gross simplification.

    First, much of said “fucking it up” was done by Norse influence due to all the Danes. Started a bit earlier than 1066, something-something Canute, something-something Danelaw, something-something great pagan army.

    Second, Norman French was one of two clearly separable waves of “French” influence, and the commoners’ Germanic language after it was still very different from what happened after the other wave.

    Third, that other wave was Angevin French, which, yeah, made a big influence, in huge part because it happened in the time when English kings were trying to conquer much of France for themselves, and didn’t see themselves as English kings really.
