The document discusses the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and the resulting influence of the French language on English. It summarizes that William the Conqueror centralized the English government after defeating King Harold. The Norman nobility imposed the French language as a mark of prestige, introducing many loanwords into English from French, Latin, and Old Norse over the following centuries. Middle English emerged as a standardized form in the late medieval period.
