Is it possible for Poland and Hungary to ally with England in the Hundred Years War against Bohemia and France?

During the Hundred Years War between England and France, Poland had its own long war with the Teutonic Order...

The Teutons at that time were allies of France and Bohemia.

What possible benefit would England have in trying to form a formal alliance with Poland?

And please, let's not get into some Plantagenet cadet branch on the Polish throne. That doesn't count, even if it could work.

They have common enemies at that time...actually not just Poland forming alliance with England, but also Hungary (and maybe Lithuania as well) allying with England against the Teutons, France and Bohemia, I was wondering what would happen if these countries are allied with each other.

Both theatres of war are too far away. Poland can gladly ally with Lithuania and Hungary against the Order and possibly Bohemia. Why should they care about France? France is too busy fighting England and England will fight France wheter the English are allied with Poland or not. Poles can also hardly expect any English help. Why England can theoretically expect the Poles to keep Bohemia out of their war, England can give Poland....pretty much nothing. So why should Poles care about some kingdom far far away? It is not as if Francer ever sent an army to Poland.
Also, one more thing. About what point of the Hundred Years War we're talking about? Is it time of Crecy, Azincourt or Orlean?
