Regarding varieties of accents in english
It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman hate or despise him. (G. B. Shaw)
Unlike Old English and Old Norse, Anglo-Norman and Middle English were not mutually comprehensible.
Where Norse speakers settled among the Anglo-Saxons, Anglo-Norman speakers occupied positions of power and authority. This is reflected in the patterns of lexical borrowing; the earliest French loans recorded in English are concerned with the establishment of Anglo-Norman government, and include words like justice, chancellor, prison, noble, crime, and court.
