The Romans spoke Latin, but it wasn't used as the " main language " in Europe. The church used Latin in it's services, but the common man didn't speak it. Kings often spoke and read several languages. One of the main languages used was French. Even today French is used in the English court and menus for the queen are in French. For 300 years no English king spoke English and only knew French.
