I'd contend that that's more myth than fact. Between 1066 and 1588 no-one really attempted an invasion of a unified England - they'd land in one of the rebellious nations (Wales or Scotland) and attempt to rally an army there.

Though sometimes they'd catch sight of Welsh women and promptly surrender (Battle of Fishguard, Legacy section).
