Prince Murat
Template:Short description Template:Infobox noble house
Prince Murat is a French princely title that traces its origin back to 1804, when Emperor Napoleon granted the rank of prince français to his brother-in-law Joachim Murat, who subsequently reigned as King of Naples from 1808 to 1815.[1] On 5 December 1812, Joachim Murat's second son Lucien was created sovereign Prince of Pontecorvo (an enclave in the Kingdom of Naples) in succession to Jean-Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, by an Imperial Decree.[2]
The Prince of Pontecorvo title is still used to this day for the heir apparent of the head of the family.[3] The Murat family is known collectively as the House of Murat (Template:Langx; Template:Langx).
On March 25, 2017, the anniversary of the birth of their founder, the family revived the old Royal Order of the Two Sicilies as a dynastic family order.[4]
