The House of Murat (French: Maison Murat, Italian: Casa Murat), collectively known as Princes Murat, is a noble family created by Napoleon I for his brother-in-law Joachim Murat who would serve as King of Naples. On the 5 December 1812 Joachim's second son Lucien was also created sovereign Prince of Pontecorvo (of an enclave in the Kingdom of Naples), in succession to Jean-Baptiste Jules Bernadotte by an Imperial Decree.[1] The Prince of Pontecorvo title is still used to this day for the heir to the Prince Murat.[2]
