Saint Majolus of Cluny (Maieul Mayeul Mayeule) (c. 906 – May 11 994) was an abbot of Cluny. As a youth Majolus fled his family’s estates near Rietz to stay with relatives at Mâcon due to the Muslim invasions. Majolus studied at Lyon and later became archdeacon of Mâcon. Offered the bishopric of Besançon he became a monk of Cluny instead. In 954 he was named abbot-coadjutor to Aymard. Two years later he became full abbot of Cluny.
