    TRANSLATION NOTES:
    [1] The first name Seymour is derived from the family name Seymour, (famous member’s include Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII) which in turn is derived from the french place Saint-Maur. Given that I could find members of this line whose name was spelled Seymour all the way back in 1340, I left it the same.
    [2] Chalmers derives from the French “de la chambre” or “of the chamber”. I decided to localise Chalmers as a probable point in the middle of that transformation. Also "superintendents" in an educational sense obviously didn't exist in feudal England, given their lack of state schooling, but "people who quality control other people's labour" did, and they were called "overseers" :D
    [3] just a literal translation, think "rapid food cuisine"
    [4] wī̆ʒelfulle was a godsend of a find translating this. It means “cunning” or “deceitful”. I was lost finding a translation for devilish because the relatively devout Medieval englishmen did not use the word - or anything similarly hellish in meaning - in any positive sense. Wī̆ʒelfulle derives from wī̆gle, an Old English term describing (paganistic) divination rituals, which survives in current English in the terms “wile” and “wily”. It also sounds evil! :D
    [5] After the disaster in this video • How to Wish Someone Ha... I didn’t really feel like attempting to sing in a video again. Comment something with “oh great bard” if you want me to attempt again anyway!
    [6] Clams as such are native to America and were thus not known to the Angle-Saxons. While they did have various kinds of shellfood, I chose to stick with “clams” given that the term is Middle English in origins, meaning “pincers, clamp”. The shellfish alternative would have been “scalop” - of hopefully obvious definition.
    [7] “Hamburgers” were only invented 100 years ago. Given that they seem to be named for the city of Hamburg (not containing any ham as they are) I chose a word that had been used in relation to Hamburg in Medieval times.
    [8] “Patent” is actually middle english in origin! Very exciting, i didn’t think so. It used to mean “ a document granting an office”.

      You’re not wrong, and chances are the mix would change depending on where exactly you were.
      There’s a story, I believe shared by the printer William Caxton, of a couple traders sailing out of London via the Thames. They stop somewhere around Kent, not that far away in modern terms, and roll up to a farm asking to buy eggs. Unfortunately the farmer doesn’t understand what they want. What are _eggs_ , is that French? The other trader has to interject and say they’re looking for _eyren_ .

    I saw the title of this and was expecting the flowery Shakespearean English most people mean when they say 'old English'. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to actually be authentic Middle English...

    It's so weird understanding like 20% of the words and half understanding another 20%, and the rest being this weird German thing.

    The funny thing is, this is eminently far more understandable to modern German speakers than today's English. Old English even more so.

      ​@@Seetor What do you mean? German is straightforward. Yes it might be hard to pronounce certain sounds or combinations, and some vowels (mostly for Romance speakers like me), but it's 90% more consistent, regular and predictive than English. After learning basic German in a couple of months you can know the pronunciation of almost every new word without a problem. With English, there are almost no rules, and you might still be learning how to pronounce (or to spell) certain words in your 20's. And being a native speaker!
