The Celts were living in England. Norwegian Vikings settled among them adding their language. Then a large number of Angels and Saxons from Germany moved to England and spread among the population using their language. The Danes the conquered England giving England a number of Danish words. Finally the Normans conquered England. The conquerors spoke French and added a veneer of French to the English Language.
These various groups were not evenly spread throughout England but the language they wrote became used in the entire country. Still a difference persisted for a long time between the conquerors and conquered. The Norman conquerors ate Beef and Ham while the Anglo Saxons tended Cows and Pigs.
