The Romans
Latin
•In the summer of 55 B.C., Julius Caesar, having completed the conquest of Gaul, decided to invade England, but the resistance of the natives was unexpectedly spirited.•Not until A.D. 43 did the Romans undertake the actual conquest of England, led by the Emperor Claudius. Again, the natives revolted, under the direction of the widow of one of the native chiefs; thousands of Romans and Romanized Britons were slaughtered.•The Romans set up a stone wall stretching across England, separating themselves from Wales and Scotland, and ruled there for more than three hundred years.•During that time, Christianity began to take hold on the island.Though Latin was used in England during this time period, it was confined to members of the upper classes and the inhabitants of the cities and towns. Thus, it was not sufficiently widespread to cause it to survive the Germanic invasions.

Yikes! The Barbarians!Anglo-Saxon• Germanic tribes (the Jutes, Saxons, and Angles), the founders of the
English nation, began the invasion of Britain in 449.• For over a hundred years, bands of conquerors and settlers
migrated from the region of Denmark and the Low Countries and established themselves in the south and east of the island, driving out the Romans in 410 and forcing the Celts to seek refuge in Wales.
Danes and Vikings• Because of scarcity of land at home and depletion of fishing waters,
Vikings and Danes began arriving in the ninth century.• They looted and plundered and waged war with the Anglo-Saxons.• Alfred the Great resisted their attacks and forced a truce. England
was divided between the two groups.• Eventually, they settled down and assimilated into the population.

The NormansFrench
• The Norman (Germanic/Viking heritage; Norman from North Men) Conquest in 1066 had a greater effect on the English language than any other in the course of its history. Without the intervention of French into the language, English would have retained its Germanic inflections and vocabulary.
• The French ruling class maintained the use of French for over two hundred years, though the middle and lower classes continued to cling to English. Only those living in town and cities had extensive exposure to French.
• The Battle of Hastings, on October 12, 1066, completely changed the course of the development of the English language.

The Magna Carta
• Magna Carta is an English legal charter, originally issued in the year 1215. It was written in Latin and is known by its Latin name. The usual English translation of Magna Carta is Great Charter.
• Magna Carta required King John of England to proclaim certain rights (pertaining to freemen), respect certain legal procedures, and accept that his will could be bound by the law. It explicitly protected certain rights of the King's subjects, whether free or fettered — and implicitly supported what became the writ of habeas corpus, allowing appeal against unlawful imprisonment.
• Magna Carta was arguably the most significant early influence on the extensive historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today in the English speaking world. Magna Carta influenced the development of the common law and many constitutional documents, including the United States Constitution.

Old English makes a comeback…• After King John lost Normandy in 1204, English nobles (of
French origin) began to choose England over France and see themselves as English instead of French.
• French continued to be used for another hundred years in the courts, supported by social custom. However, the upper class began using English for other purposes and occasions.
• The rise of the middle class and the increasing importance of the laboring class (due to the effects of the Black Death in 1348-1350) heightened the prominence of English.
• The Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453), when the French—and the language—became enemies of England, was the final nail the coffin of the reign of the French language in England.
![Page 37: The English Language - Mr. Dyer's Class Wiki / FrontPage](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb60a22e268c58cd5d73b8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
but has been transformed to Middle English.• After the Norman Invasion, introducing the French
speakers of a polysyllabic Latinate (L) language, English was forever changed, but thanks to the conqueror, he let the more monosyllabic Anglo-Saxon remain with his language. Result: a richer, more varied English language.
• Examples: Both are used today, one is AS and one is Latinate:
– go up (AS) - ascend (L)
– eat (AS) - dine (L)
– hill (AS) - mountain (L)
– go down (AS) descend (L)
– The AS called dinner "eat time." The Latinates said, No, that's "dinner."

The Renaissance 1485-1660
• We now are experiencing a gradual shift from Middle English to Modern English.
– Rediscovery and reevaluation of Ancient Greece and Rome (whose eras occurred at least 1500 years before the Renaissance) = new use of Latin and Greek in academics.
– The invention of the printing press causes Modern English to become standardized; more literacy
