Happen to do sth

Hi

what's the meaning of "happen to do sth"?

for example, "don’t blame us if our audience happens to draw inferences that are simply not true."

or "unlike any of the other scholars who had tried to crack the code, Champollion happened to be fluent in Coptic. "

I appreciate if someone helps me with this.
