French became a language spoken in England after the Norman Conquest in 1066, when William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, became King of England. The Norman rulers and nobility brought their language with them, and it gradually influenced and merged with the Old English spoken by the local population, leading to the evolution of Middle English.
