The English language is typically divided into three historical periods (option "C"):
The Old English or Anglo Saxon which was brought to Britain due to the Anglo-Saxon invasions, was spoken in England and Scotland between 450-1100 AD (early Middle Ages).
The Middle English, which developed after the Norman conquest in 1066, was influenced by the French. It started replacing the Old English; however, the Middle English was considered the language of the upper classes.

Cyclops wanted to treat him well upon his return and befriend him.
