When did the English start using and winning battles with the longbow, and why did it not catch on with the French?

Also, a powerful English longbow appears to have a longer range than most muskets, even in the Napoleonic era. Did anyone think to bring it back and batter the French with it hundreds of years later when they wore almost no armour?

Should Uk have demanded our Plantagenet lands back after saving France in WW2 ?
