Regarding your proposed examples, I do not follow why what is done in
one language (French) means that the same thing has to be done in
another language (English). They have different vocabularies,
different grammar and different constructions.

But medieval documents in both countries were written in Latin and the problem is with the translation or interpretation of the Latin meaning. The early medieval English court also wrote in Norman French and again, the problem is with the translation or interpretation. You have to understand the society, not the language, in order to begin to understand what was meant.
