[fre] Résumé Christophe de Thou, père du célèbre historien, Jacques-Auguste, occupa la charge de premier président du parlement de Paris de décembre 1562 jusqu'à sa mort en 1582. Par sa présence dans les délégations du Parlement, sa participation au Conseil, sa correspondance quotidienne avec le souverain, ses contacts étroits avec l'échevinage parisien, Christophe de Thou joua un important rôle de médiateur entre le Parlement, la capitale du royaume et le pouvoir royal. Il fut un modéré qui resta attaché à des principes comme l'unité de la religion, la fidélité au monarque, la défense des libertés gallicanes, le respect de la tradition. Travailleur acharné, respecté de tous, ayant toute la confiance de Charles IX, de Thou fut le représentant illustre d'une haute magistrature en pleine ascension, et devint le modèle du premier président par excellence.
