What part of France do they control now?

That is correct that HVIII lost the remaining English possessions in France, 
namely Calais.  However, the English Crown retained the title, even up 
untill this very day...The English monarch is addressed by such title with 
the inclusion of Scotland which was added under James VI and I of 
England...<shrug>  
    I believe the English claim to France goes back to Henry V, who believed 
he was 
the rightful heir to the throne of France from his mother's side... The 
French under Salic law, the French law of succession, obviously disagreed.  
....bla bla bla  battle of Agincourt.....bla bla bla.
