If your English pride entice you to say:

The English victory at Agincourt was one of the most overwhelming, and unexpected, results of any medieval battle, but it wasn’t the first time the French were comprehensively walloped by the English during the Hundred Years War.
You are just convenientely forgetting the main thing : the result of that war because if the English won some battles , in the end they were booted out of France.

These are juste some battles were the English were comprehensively walloped by the French during the Hundred years War.

·
1429, 17 July Battle of Patay In a reverse of Agincourt/Crécy, a French army under La Hire, Richemont, Joan of Arc, and other commanders break through English archers under Lord Talbot and then pursue and mop up the other sections of the English army, killing or capturing about half (2,200) of their troops. The Earl of Shrewsbury (Talbot) and Hungerford are captured.

· 1450 Battle of Formigny A French force under the Comte de Clermont defeats an English force under Thomas Kyriell

· 1453 Battle of Castillon Jean Bureau defeats Talbot to end the Hundred Years' War. This was also the first battle in European history where the use of cannon was a major factor in determining the victor.
