The end of Late OE is rarely assigned to 1066 now.  That is obviously a
milestone date but the language 35 years later would have differed little
for most people, even if French borrowings began to creep in.

Hi,

It is about 'french creeping in'.
In old english the word for 'slave' was 'wale'.
So we must assume that french was creeping in much earlier.
At least in the spoken language of the 'lower -but dignified-' classes.
