Allow us to introduce you to another installment of TimeGhost Shorts!  

We know that there has been a bit of a lull on TimeGhost lately. In case you have missed some of our other updates on the matter, the primary cause was a large focus on covering the major World War Two events properly. We are indeed back now though, and have some real kicker episodes ready for you. 

Back to our regular programing, and enjoy your preview of this episode!

This is awesome and I love this kind of content. Someday could you cover the American occupation of the Philippines? Or even better the naval arms race from the 1870s to 1910s

My understanding is French was the only language spoken in the English court after 1066 and even a century later Richard the Lionhearted is believed to have spoken only French, never having learned his native tongue of English. If any of this is true, can you explain why?

pretty sure it's true, yeah. Because the Normans come from Normandy in France, and despite originally being Norseman (hence the name of the region) they were fairly quickly Francofied. The Plantagenets added influence and lands within France over time too, based on personal unions and marriages, like Anjou or Aquitaine. French I think was more of an influential language too, so the Plantagenets spoke only French, it was the language of the upper class and nobles, whilst the commoners spoke English.

Not at all unusual. At least according to Tolstoy the Russian elite spoke better French than Russian

Yeah, I'll never believe this. Fake news. Revisionist history. Saxons are just too cool...

I would not consider the whole Normans vs. Saxons vs. Danes a complete myth - just inaccurate if applied to the late 11th century. They had been blending already for two centuries or more, mixing up their bloodlines, religions, languages and royal heritage. No wonder they looked so much alike by the time William the conqueror arrived.

What about the change in language after the Conquest? Is that a myth too?

I was wondering that too. Language largely determines culture and the Normans spoke French and the Saxons spoke....I dunno...Middle English?
