Sometimes people ask how far back in time you could go without needing an interpreter to understand English. IMO, if you stick to London, any time after 1500 people will be more or less intelligible-ish to you, even if they can't understand your futurespeak.

A 9th Century Old Irish Poem about being safe from Vikings, read in Old Irish (with reconstructed pronunciation) and in Modern English Translation. This short piece was written by a monk in the margin of an Irish manuscript of Priscian's Institutiones grammaticae. The poem's author welcomes a stormy night free from the risk of attacking Vikings, and supplies us with our earliest attestation of the Irish name for Scandinavia.
