Are you sure you want Old English? 10:54 Aug 30, 2010
I wonder if you mistakenly think that Old English was contemporary with the Spanish spoken at the time of the Spanish Conquest. However, Old English began developing into Middle English after the Norman Conquest (1066) and by the 1600s English had developed into Early Modern English.
If you want to capture the somewhat archaic flavor of the Spanish chronicler's speech, I'd suggest using a Shakespearean sort of English, ideally with the non-standardized spelling that Shakespeare and other authors of the day used (for better or worse, spelling has been standardized in most modern texts. |
