Timeline
- 1383–1384Calais · Pas-de-CalaisThe Caroline phase of the Hundred Years' War steadily drained both sides. In 1383 the English Parliament refused new taxes to sustain large-scale expeditions; John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, remained at Calais, negotiating with France and the Duke of Brittany over truce renewals, paving the way for the Treaty of Leulinghem.
- 1384Leulinghem · Pas-de-CalaisEnglish and French representatives formally concluded a nine-month truce at Leulinghem on the Franco-Calais border.

- 1384–1385Leulinghem · Pas-de-CalaisAs the nine-month truce neared expiry, the two sides negotiated again on 14 September 1384, extending the treaty until 1 May 1385. During the extension they still failed to reach a permanent peace over Aquitaine's status and the English king's homage to France, but the border and subsidiary theaters remained relatively quiet.
