Injecting French "colour" into KotF

[_Tristan_]

Of course weren't there two main dialects of French in this time period?

Yes, there were langue d'oil, spoken in the north of France and langue d'oc, spoken in the south.

As to swearing, I'll try and compile a list.

One of the most useful one in the starting years might be Bougre d'anglais !! (which could translate as English MF)

Was langue d'oc the same as Provencal? I recall reading it was a bit of a lingua franca for part of the Middle Ages...

Yes and no... They share the same basis but langue d'oc was the "official" language while provençal was rather a dialect derived from the former.

But a speaker of one would have understood the speaker of the other.

Which wouldn't have been true of langue d'oc/langue d'oil speaker (think wallon/flemish in Belgium)
