In 1214 Thibaut helped negotiate a truce between Philip II of France and John of England.
He attended the coronation of Louis IX in 1226, along with the trouvère Hue de la Ferté.
He may have based his Bien font Amours lor talent on the conductus Quid frustra consumeris and Chanter et renvoisier seuil on Sol sub nube latuit.
With the exception of three chansons that are restricted to a sixth—Amours, que porra devenir, Chanter et renvoisier seuil, and Huimain par un ajourant—and one, Li miens chanters ne puet mais remanoir, which is severely restricted in movement, most of Thibaut's melodies move freely.
Compared to his melodies (all recorded in bar form),[3] his prosody is usually simple, though three songs—Bien font Amours lor talent, Bon jour ait hui cele a cui sui amis, and Quant je voi esté venir—exhibit some variety.
