Biography
[edit]Gastone (Caste) de Murols was from a family having its origin in Murols and was therefore from Auvergne. He began as treasurer of the Order, a position he fulfilled following Géraud de Saint-André. He occupied the post beginning 1163 –1167, a position he held until his election as Grand Master.[3]
He was appointed by Gilbert of Aissailly to succeed him in 1170. His election was recognized by only a part of the knights. The dissidents sided with the authority of a certain Rostang, a character known only by his seal, dividing the Order for the first time. This split was short-lived since the death of Gastone took place just two years later.[4]
