The answer to this question depends a lot on your definition of a 'war' and also the strict interpretation of what constitutes 'England'. For the sake of this question, England is the kingdom of England from the late Anglo-Saxon period up to the Union of 1707 with the Kingdom of Scotland. A war is less easy to define, but let's say that a war is 'a reciprocated, armed conflict, between two or more non-congruous entities, aimed at reorganising a subjectively designed, geo-politically desired result' (described as such in wikipedia). Therefore wars England has lost - the defeat of Aethelred of England and the Viking conquest of England by Svein Forkbeard and his son Canute 1014 the defeat of Harold of England and the Norman conquest of England by William of Normandy 1066 the 'War of Bouvines' between King John of England and King Philip II of France 1214 First Scottish War of Independence 1296-1328 The 100 Years War (at least the last phase 1429-1453) Anglo-Spanish War 1585 -1604 The First and Second Bishop's Wars (with Scotland) 1639 & 1640 The 2nd Anglo Dutch War 1665-1667 The 3rd Anglo Dutch War 1672-1674 Although it is arguable as to the extent of the defeats and the actual short, medium and long term effects of each defeat, there doesn't seem to be much doubt that England did lose these wars.
