How could we, with a POD no earlier than 1066, have Norman French supplant the old Anglo-Saxon as the mother tongue of the general populace of England (although not necessarily of Wales, Scotland, or Ireland), without a fusion language developing as happened in OTL (basically Anglo-Saxon completely dies out without any significant survival in modern language), and end up with a modern language called "Anglais" which is a decendant of Norman French, but not mutually intelligible to speakers of modern OTL French?
