journey of english - the first english throne speech

[Hexachloraphine]

Hearing recreations of ancient english language makes much more sense than seeing it written down.

A stunning video, thanks

you're welcome. :)

i hope to find more material in the future, though right now things for language seem a bit dry.

Why on earth was French and offical language of England?

[Rennoch]

when the norman william the conquerer came over to claim the english throne, he and his court spoke french. it became the official language of the court simply because it was what the new rulers spoke. they had to teach english to their children like people learn french or spanish in high school today.

great video, could you upload more?

[Rennoch]

i uploaded a burst clip from ep one, i'm working on making a few 5 minute segments, the hard part is finding the bits that are self-contained i.e. cover their topic without blending into the next bit.

[Rennoch]
