You forgot one of the more important ones..

1066: Battle of Hastings. French Normans conquer England. In doing so, they do add several nifty new words to the Anglo Saxon language, which one day will generally be known as 'English'.

However, their attempts to teach the locals the art of 'cuisine' never really catches on. The game of tennis is a bit hit, though, especially in the hamlet of Wimbledon.
