We even burned the symbol of France Joan of Arc because not even she could stand English spear and bow for very long.

Paris itself fell to the might and right of England.
Very restrictive point of view really, as i said before: irrelevant. U seem to only compare england to france in your statement, but their were countries far much more powerfull than england in the world at this time.

English kingdom is a tiny thing really and is like a fly that could be easily smashed by muslims and eastern empires.

Oh, by the way, london itself fell to the might of France in 1066. So even your analysis of France vs England wars is biased by patriotism.
