Answer
The French army, led by King Philip VI, was defeated by the English army, led by King Edward III, at the Battle of Crécy in 1346. The English won the battle because they had better archers and were able to use their longbows to shoot the French cavalry from a distance. The French cavalry was also hampered by the mud and rain, which made it difficult for them to maneuver.
