After Bohemond was released he was defeated by the Seljuks at the Battle of Harran in 1104; the defeat led to renewed pressure on Antioch from both the Seljuks and the Byzantines.
From Alexius' imperial court, the treaty was witnessed by the sebastos Marinus, Roger son of Dagobert, Peter Aliphas, William of Gand, Richard of the Principate, Geoffrey of Mailli, Hubert son of Raoul, Paul the Roman, the ambassadors Peres and Simon from Hungary, and the ambassadors Basil the Eunuch and Constantine.

 Bohemund I of Antioch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
From Constantinople to Antioch Bohemund was the real leader of the First Crusade; and it says much for his leading that the First Crusade succeeded in crossing Asia Minor, which the Crusades of 1101, 1147 and 1189 failed to accomplish.
A politique, Bohemund was resolved to engineer the enthusiasm of the crusaders to his own ends; and when his nephew Tancred of Hauteville left the main army at Heraclea, and attempted to establish a footing in Cilicia, the movement may have been already intended as a preparation for Bohemund's eastern principality.
Bohemund was the first to get into position before Antioch (October 1097), and he took a great part in the siege, beating off the Muslim attempts at relief from the east, and connecting the besiegers on the west with the port of St Simeon and the Italian ships which lay there.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Syria
The so-called Latin Patriarchate of Antioch owes its origins to the times of the Crusades of the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries, in connection with the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, both of which nowadays are simply titular, without any jurisdiction, and their titulars reside in Rome.
