Pierre de Murat de Cros (c. 1320-1388) was archbishop of Arles and the chamberlain of the Apostolic Camera (Latin: Camerarius Apostolicus) at the outbreak of the Western Schism. Refusing to support Bartolomeo Prignano (Pope Urban VI, the former head of the rival Apostolic Chancellery) after the papal conclave, 1378, 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 de Cros's actions a "counter-coup".
