Edit:
What I'm trying to subtly imply is that you guys don't seem to have a grasp of the different time periods.
This is unimportant, but my earliest recorded ancestor, Ragnar Lothbrok, lived during the 8th-9th century.
948 was still the "viking" era.
1066 was when it went from Old English (above) to Middle English (my previous post) due to the Norman conquest.
The Crusades were around 1096 (First Crusade)-1189 (Third Crusade).
The Canterbury Tales, an example of Middle English (which my previous post is from) were 1387-1400.
The Roman Empire finally fell in 1453.
Shakespeare, an example of Early Modern English, lived from 1564-1616.

what the forget magus where did you learn old english? i can't deal with those cases

also it's not like the roman empire had any impact by 1453 lol

I pasted it from Beowulf.
By that, I mean the Eastern Roman Empire, and yeah, they were pretty weak after the Fourth Crusade in 1204.
