Where did anglo normans and anglo saxons orginate from?
Q. Also, once they came to the UK, do you think they would have mixed with the local population much considering the language barrier?

A. Firstly, there is no such things as "anglo-normans". Secondly, "anglo-saxon" is a generic term for the germanic people who came from what is modern day North Germany, Holland and Jutland to settle post-Roman Britain. The Normans invaded in 1066 and were very much the elite. They did not mix much with the English "lower" classes. They were relatively few in number, however, and were rapidly Anglicised. It is true that Norman French influenced English, although English is most definitely a Germanic language. The most significant things that the Normans gave us (I mean us, the English), were our legal system and system of Government.

middle to modern english?
Q.

A. Next it went from Middle English to Early Modern - the Early Modern period is generally agreed to have begun with the reign of Henry VII, after he defeated Richard III (last Medieval king) at Bosworth in 1485. I'm incredibly rusty on this, but try here:
