When did English become the official language of England?
Shortly after Geoffrey Chaucer died, English was decreed as the official language of England. This was after a history of several different ruling languages. When Julius Caesar invaded, the English language did not exist. However the Anglo-Saxons later invaded and united the tribes, keeping only a few words of the then dominant Celtic language. However, the Vikings also "ruled" England, and we still use over 900 words from this Norse time period, including many days of the week. Then the Norman French invaded and ruled for 300 years. The official languages of their court were French and Latin. (This time period added prepositional phrases to the English language.) The English finally raised a peasant army, and the 100 Year War broke out. By the time Chaucer was born, there was an English-speaking king again. Modern day speakers would not be able to read this English, though, but a series of events, including the Black Death and the printing press brought about the Great Vowel Shift, which resulted in a form of modern English. This brings us up to the language of Shakespeare, which we can understand fairly easily. However, as we can obviously see, the English language has continued to evolve in the last 400 years, and continues to change shape even today.

Was french over then 600 years an official language of England?
French seeped into the English language during the Norman Invasion/Norman Conquest of England in 1066. According to Wikipedia, "One of the most obvious changes [from the Norman Conquest] was the introduction of Anglo-Norman, a northern dialect of Old French, as the language of the ruling classes in England, displacing Old English. This predominance was further reinforced and complicated in the mid-twelfth century by an influx of followers of the Angevin dynasty, speaking a more mainstream dialect of French. Not until the fourteenth century would English regain its former primacy, while the use of French at court continued into the fifteenth century." French was spoken mainly by the ruling classes/royalty and clergy, but not as much by the common people of England. I am not sure if it was ever the actual "official language" of England, but I doubt it because it was mainly the court that spoke French.
