French words of Warfare and chilvary, art and luxury, science and law, began to come into the English language . Thus three languages existed in England at that time . The Normans spoke French, the lower class spoke English, and the scholars and clergymen used Latin . The literature was varied in interest and extensive in range . The Normans began to write histories or chronicles . Most of them were written in Latin of French . The prevailing form of literature in the feudal England was the Romance . |
