English has many French words due to historical influences, particularly from the Norman Conquest in 1066. When William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, invaded England, he brought with him the Norman French language. For several centuries, Norman French was the language of the English court, administration, and the upper classes, while Old English continued to be spoken by the common people.
