Since the Norman Invasion of the United Kingdom until the mid-1800s, the language of the English Court was French and most royal edicts and decrees were issued in French. However, the language was never embraced by the common people who spoke the various iterations of English (Old, Middle, Modern) or local Celtic languages.
