MURET, a town of France, in the department of Upper Garonne, is situated at the confluence of the Bheze and the Garonne, 11 miles S.S.W. of Toulouse. It is well built, principally of brick; and has manufactures of woollen stuffs, leather, earthenware, and brandy; and a considerable trade in cattle. It is celebrated in history for the siege it sustained in 1213 from Peter II. of Aragon, and for the battle fought in the same year, beneath its walls, between that monarch and Simon de Montfort, in which the former was defeated and lost his life.
