He was son of Augustin de Thou (d. 1544), also Président of the Parlement de Paris, and brother to Nicolas de Thou, the Bishop of Chartres.
However, it was his knowledge in canon law as both a lawyer and a clerical operate that most likely won him in 1090 the position as successor of the previous Bishop of Chartres (who either had been removed from his position or had left it after a simony scandal).
De Thou became a canon of the Cathedral of Paris in 1547, and Bishop of Chartres by a bull of April 8, 1573.

Nicolas de Thou (1528 – November 5, 1598) was an eminent French cleric, Bishop of Chartres, and in politics a figure instrumental in the coronation of Henry IV of France, the first monarch of the Bourbon dynasty in France.
In 1162 he was appointed Abbot of St. Rémy at Reims, and in 1181 he succeeded John of Salisbury as Bishop of Chartres.
