Life

Konrad von Mure probably comes from the area around the Muri monastery in Aargau . He was on friendly terms with his Habsburg guardian and later King Rudolf . He will have completed his studies in Bologna or Paris with a master's degree. From 1233 he had benefices at the Grossmünster in Zurich, where he was head of the collegiate school. From 1244 he was canon there and from 1259 cantor. Konrad von Mure stayed in Zurich until his death and was buried in the St. Marienkapelle of the monastery in 1281.
