Yes, the British history is quite interesting and so is the development of the modern British language. Not too many for instance know, that the British Islands were basically a 2 language country for about 600 years all from Wilhelm the conqueror 1066 and pretty much up to the first major work documenting English being King James Bible from 1611 AD. The upper (bad) 'Norman' class spoke French, as we actually know from our Robin Hood movies, with the lower (good) class being stuck with the Anglo-Saxon lingo. Current English pretty much is what came out as the merge of those 2 languages. That's where all those Latin words in the English language really originated from, via French rather than straight from the Latin conqueror's efforts to get established in Britain.
