False.

After the 1066 Norman Conquest, Anglo‑Norman French (and Latin for church and most official records) were the languages of government, law and the court for much of the Middle English period. Middle English gradually regained official use (for example the Statute of Pleading 1362 required oral court proceedings to be in English), but English was not the primary official language throughout most of that period.
