The English take their military tenability like a slogan: "Unconquered since 1066." Since that date, any French force attempting to brave the English Channel and subjugate the British Isles has failed spectacularly (ask Villenueve). Ironically, the French have just as respected a tradition of being unconquered from the channel as well (I don't count the Normandy Landings, since, well, it wasn't the French who were being invaded). I've seen innumerable threads devoted to how many times the French could have successfully invaded England, but I haven't seen any of the converse. So, I was wondering, what are some times, after the Hundred Years War, that an invading force from England crossing the channel into France could expect to find reasonable success an a campaign against the French?
