Who is Pierre de Murat de Cros?
Pierre de Murat de Cros, O.S.B., was a French monk of aristocratic origins who became a putative cardinal, as well as the Archbishop of Arles and the Chamberlain of the Apostolic Camera at the outbreak of the Western Schism. Refusing to support Bartolomeo Prignano after the Papal Conclave of 1378, Murat de Cros played a critical role in delivering a considerable portion of the Roman Curia to the rival claimant Robert of Geneva, who took the name Clement VII. Historian Daniel Williman calls Murat de Cros's actions a "counter-coup".
