Stephen of Muret was a 11th-century French abbot and saint who established the Order of Grandmont. Born in Thiers around 1045, he later became the leader of a religious community characterized by extreme poverty and austerity. Although traditional accounts of his early education in Italy and his interactions with various religious figures contain historical inconsistencies, he is recognized as the founder of the Grandmontines. He spent his later years in France, where he led his followers before passing away in Limoges in 1124.
