Until 1600 danish were the choosen language in the british upper-class. I have personally read autentic british law material from the late fifteen hundreds, and it was written in danish (well old danish, it was bloody hard to understand

I am sure that the language of the English court was French untill about that time and for a long time after was a major player in the nobility of England. But I think there may be some strength to the law being based on Danelaw and being written in an old Danish style. Maybe someone can help out here. I'm on thin ground here but I think a lot of northern england got a lot of words and certainly its accent from the Danes.
