Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• The Norman Invasion (1066) happened after the Anglo - Saxon period, so it's incorrect.
• The Trojan War was a mythical/Ancient Greek conflict, not related to Anglo - Saxon England, so it's incorrect.
• The War of the Roses was a late medieval English conflict, long after the Anglo - Saxon period, so it's incorrect.
• The Fall of the Roman Empire led to the withdrawal of Roman forces from Britain. This power vacuum allowed the Anglo - Saxons to invade and settle in England, starting their period of rule.
