The Norman Conquest took place in 1066. It's not D, because that's many years ahead. It was in the 11th century. A is too early. The answer is B: 1066.

Answer: B).1066

Step-by-step explanation:

The Norman Conquest of 1066 had an enormous effect in the Old English period not only on the English language but also because of its violence and carnage. After the death of King Edward, Earl Harold Godwinson persuaded the nobles that ultimately agreed that he should be crowd as the new King. On 6 January 1066, just hours after King Edward was buried in Westminster Abbey, Harold was formally crowned as the new King of England. William, Duke of Normandy, responded with silent fury and immediate action: he began planning an invasion of England. He was certain that the crown should have passed to him. Willian invaded England and started a bloodbath for the throne. The English were in disarray. King Harold and his two brothers, the earls Gyrth and Leofwine, as well as thousands of thegns and freemen, had died. The Norman had finally conquered England.
