When did the English become the preferred language of the royal court and Parliament?
Correct Answer: In 1400
English became the preferred language of the royal court and Parliament by around 1400.
Before this, the ruling classes had spoken Norman French ever since the Norman Conquest of 1066. By the late 14th century, English had evolved and reasserted itself as the dominant language, aided by writers like Geoffrey Chaucer.
