Prior to the Norman conquest of 1066, England spoke Old English, also called Anglo-Saxon or Ænglisc.
After the Norman Conquest of 1066, English was replaced by Anglo-Norman for awhile, by the upper class, while the Old English that was spoken by the common people developed into the next historical form of English, known as Middle English.
