Jean de Murat de Cros

Jean de Murat du Cros was a French cardinal of the Catholic Church.

Murat de Cros obtained a doctorate in the law and received Holy Orders, after which he became the prior of a community of secular canons serving a rural church in the Archdiocese of Bourges.

[1] Shortly after a relative was elected as Pope Gregory XI, Murat de Cros became the new pope's cardinal-nephew and was made cardinal-priest of the Basilica of Santi Nereo e Achilleo on 30 May 1371.

His brother became the head of the Papal Treasury, in which office he administered the finances of the Holy See.

Shortly thereafter, however, under the leadership of his brother, he adhered to the obedience of Antipope Clement VII and served as his legate in France.
