The Norman invasion of 1066 brought Anglo/Norman French to England. It was, to a large extent spoken to the ruling classes, in law courts, schools and universities. Correspondence was carried out in Anglo/Norman or Anglo/French, all up to the 15th century .After some time, the language was absorbed into English. Even today, French is still evident in legal and administrative terms
