The Latin in English comes more from loanwords used in early modern English. (Post 1500)

The French influence was post 1066 when Norman French replaced the Germanic elite

Prior to that it was an evolving language that began as a west Germanic language introduced by Anglo Saxon migrants in the mid 5th century.
