Thrugot or Trued (died 1279) was Bishop of Reval (modern-day Tallinn) from 1260 to 1279.
Thrugot was a canon at Roskilde Cathedral before being appointed Bishop of Reval in 1260 following the death of his predecessor, Thorkill.[1] Like the bishops before and after him, his appointment was formally uncanonical, as he was appointed by the Danish Queen and regent Margaret Sambiria rather than by the Pope.[2] His appointment was later confirmed by the pope in 1263, and the following year Thrugot travelled to Orvieto to receive the insignia of his office from Pope Urban IV.[1][3] The Pope also convinced the Danish Crown to grant the bishopric sufficient land to support its own cathedral chapter, allowing the chapter thereafter to elect its own bishops.[3]
Thrugot's episcopate was marked by political and military instability, including armed skirmishes with Russian forces and conflicts with the bishopric's vassals over financial obligations and the payment of tithes.[4]
