Historical background


CRUSADES - PRINCIPALITY OF ANTIOCHUS - BOHEMOND III

(1149-1201)

Antioch was the first large city to fall into the hands of the Crusaders in 1098. Bohémond de Tarente and Robert Guiscard, from the Normans, constituted themselves a first principality. Raymond II of Poitiers, Prince of Antioch, was killed in 1149 at the end of the second crusade. Bohémond III, his son, succeeded him under the regency of Constantius, his mother, the daughter of Bohémond II, between 1149 and 1163. After the capture of Jerusalem in 1187, Bohémond signed a truce with Saladin and made peace with the Muslims in from 1192. He annexed Tripoli in 1187 and had to fight against the rise of the kings of Armenia. Raymond, his eldest son, died in 1197. When Bohémond III died in 1201, an implacable fight was going to oppose his descendants, Raymond Roupen dit l'Armenien, his grandson, and Bohémond IV, youngest son of Bohémond III.
