The Norman invasion of 1066. Guillaume le Batard, Duc de Normandie left in search of a better name and title. He found both in England as William the Conqueror, King William I of England.
Oh, Sudonym--the Glorious Revolution doesn't count. William of Orange came on the arm of his wife, the very English Mary II. The main reason he was invited to come (besides being Protestant) was the fact that he had a legitimate claim through her--in truth, giving the crown jointly to William was the only way that Mary (the closest Protestant relative to the exiled James II) would agree to Parliament's request to return to rule England.

C. The Norman Invasion of 1066 was long after the invasion of England by the Danes, which set up such rulers as Harold Harefoot. They were then followed by the Saxons, who were then overthrown by the Normans. The American Revolution did not conquer the British mainland, only its colony (us). And the storming of the Bastille took place in Paris, not England.

The Norman Conquest.

The "Glorious Revolution" of 1688 was certainly not a conquest by William, because Parliament deposed James VII and INVITED William to replace him. The fighting was between the forces of the now-rightful King William and his rebellious predecessor.

Well, the Americans didn't invade Britain
The Bastille is in Paris (France!)
You didn't mention the Romans, but they got there a little bit before William the Conqueror.

What about the Glorious Revolution, when William III came over from the Netherlands in 1688? Doesn't that count? Why or why not? Discuss.

None of these.
In 1688 William of Orange (a Dutchman) landed in Torbay with an army of dutch and german troops to depose James II of England with the help of some english traitors.
James sent the english army to repel the invaders but they only got as far as Salisbury when they took fright and scattered.
When James heard of this he tried to escape to France disguised as a woman but was recognised and brought back to London.
He was later released and sent into exile but returned to Ireland to try to regain the throne. His army was defeated at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and William ruled jointly with his queen Mary who gave him some slight legitimacy under the rules of succession.

Two of those didn't happen in England. Compare the dates of the other two and you'll have your answer.
