Synthesized answer
The ancient rumor that angered Juno about the Trojans concerned their faith and how they procured the Spartan bride [3]. This rumor implied that the Trojans were a perfidious kind [3]. Juno felt that when all the united states of Greece combined to purge the world of this kind, the Trojans should have feared their fate, and their current complaints were too late [3].
Juno also expressed anger that the Trojans, after falling in ashes and forcing their way through fires, swords, and seas, could revive and escape again [2]. She saw them as hated offspring of her Phrygian foes and believed their fates opposed her own [2]. Juno feared that Troy might be renewed and fired again, leading to a second siege for her banished issue [4].

Ev’n Pluto hates his own misshapen race; Her sister Furies fly her hideous face; So frightful are the forms the monster takes, So fierce the hissings of her speckled snakes. Her Juno finds, and thus inflames her spite: “O virgin daughter of eternal Night, Give me this once thy labour, to sustain My right, and execute my just disdain. Let not the Trojans, with a feign’d pretence Of proffer’d peace, delude the Latian prince.…

Sublime on stately steeds the Trojans borne, To their expecting lord with peace return. But jealous Juno, from Pachynus’ height, As she from Argos took her airy flight, Beheld with envious eyes this hateful sight. She saw the Trojan and his joyful train Descend upon the shore, desert the main, Design a town, and, with unhop’d success, Th’…
fatal war began? Think on whose faith th’ adult’rous youth relied; Who promis’d, who procur’d, the Spartan bride? When all th’ united states of Greece combin’d, To purge the world of the perfidious kind, Then was your time to fear the Trojan fate: Your quarrels and complaints are now too late.” Thus Juno. Murmurs rise, with mix’d applause, Just as they favour or dislike the cause. So winds, when yet unfledg’d in woods they lie, In whispers first their tender voices try, Then issue on the main with bellowing rage, And storms to…

This endless outrage shall they still sustain? Shall Troy renew’d be forc’d and fir’d again? A second siege my banish’d issue fears, And a new Diomede in arms appears. One more audacious mortal will be found; And I, thy daughter, wait another wound. Yet, if with fates averse, without thy leave, The Latian lands my progeny receive, Bear they the pains of…

It is done, The blood already drawn, the war begun; The discord is complete; nor can they cease The dire debate, nor you command the peace. Now, since the Latian and the Trojan brood Have tasted vengeance and the sweets of blood; Speak, and my pow’r shall add this office more: The neighbr’ing nations of th’ Ausonian shore Shall hear the dreadful rumour, from afar, Of arm’d invasion,…
