English is my third language, although the one I used the most other than my first. I know a bit of Dutch, German and French.
I managed fine all the way through 1400. I was missing a word here and there, and by 1500 I deduced the semantics of some words from the context, roots, similar words, and other European languages.
1300 was quite challenging; I understood more than half the words, but there was not enough context to fill in the gaps. I got the gist of the story, but not enough of the details.

1200 and onwards were inscrutable to me.
