The Treaty of Bruges was a treaty signed in 1375 between France and England in Bruges, present-day Belgium. It led to the Truce of Bruges, a pause in the "Caroline" phase of the Hundred Years' War. The conference leading to the treaty was called at the instigation of Pope Gregory XI. France was represented in the negotiations by Philip II, Duke of Burgundy and England by John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster. The truce agreed was initially for one year but was later extended until 1377.
