MIDDLE ENGLISH
In 1066, the Norman French conquered England. English was outlawed,and many people learned French to communicate and do business with their French rulers. This meant English now had 2 words everything.
The native English words were considered crude and uneducated, the new French words were considered elegant and noble.
The poor peasants raised chicken, cows, pigs and sheep (from English).
