Despite the fact that the Normans completely subjugated the Anglo Saxons how did English manage to survive?
The Normans spoke Norman-French and this became the language of the court church and administration. Despite this, the Normans were relatively few in number, often intermarried with the English and the ordinary people continued to speak English. The language was greatly simplified in this period (and earlier from contact between Anglo-Saxons and Danes) from the original Anglo-Saxon until it re-emerged as a written language in the form of 'Middle-English' (eg. Chaucer). The loss of Norman lands in France also contributed to the gradual adoption of English.
