Thanks for that, Terry.
It does give me the A as initial letter for another clue, but can't get it either.

Go ahead and do it! 7 letters
A?T?N??

Tonto,
Looks like it could be ADVANCE, but that would make one of your letters wrong.

Has it got to be just one word - "act on it" would fit, otherwise

Advance sounds good to me - I have to think again on my other answer -Taunt - which would now be
V?U?T Boast in a letter to a relation.

I had considered Act on it but it says a 7-letter word.

My final 2 are interdependent: Increase the strain 9 letters ????A?A?? The final letter would be E if advance is right. Could it be aggravate?

This man invaded England 3 letters N??. Final letter would be G if aggravate were right.

Increase the strain. PROPAGATE.

That would make the invader N?R. So it would be NOR. As in Norman, 1066 and all that. This last one is a pretty poor clue but it looks right.
