On 24 March 1387, the English won a great naval victory at the Battle of Margate. The French were planning to invade England and gathered a large fleet. In a stunning victory, the English sank or captured more than 100 French ships. I had not heard of the Battle of Margate but without it, the French would have invaded England and they would likely have succeeded. So it was an important battle in English history.
