	Bohemund I of Antioch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bohemund was the eldest son of Robert Guiscard, Duke of Apulia and Calabria, by his first marriage (which was later annulled) to Alberada of Buonalbergo.
		A politique, Bohemund was resolved to engineer the enthusiasm of the crusaders to his own ends; and when his nephew Tancred 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 of the city, 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 Genoese ships which lay there.

	Bohemund I of Antioch
		In 1096 Bohemund, along with his uncle the great count of Sicily, was attacking Amalfi, which had revolted against Duke Roger, when bands of crusaders began to pass, on their way through Italy to Constantinople.
		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.
		Bohemund was the first to get into position before Antioch (October 1097), and he took a great part in the siege, beating off the Moslem 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.

	Principality of Antioch
		Bohemund II's reign lasted a short four years, and the Principality was inherited by his young daughter Constance; Baldwin II acted as regent again until his death in 1131, when Fulk of Jerusalem took power.
		Bohemund returned to Antioch in 1165, and married one of Manuel's nieces; he was also convinced to install a Greek Orthodox patriarch in the city.
		In 1254 Bohemund VI married Sibylla, an Armenian princess, ending the power struggle between the two states, although by this point Armenia was the more powerful of the two and Antioch was essentially a vassal state.

	Battle of Dorylaeum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the evening of June 30, after a three-day march, Bohemund's army made camp in a meadow on the north bank of the river Thymbres, near the ruined town of Dorylaeum (Many scholars believe that this is the site of the modern city of Eskişehir).
		Bohemund's knights had quickly mounted but their sporadic counterattacks were unable to deter the Turks.
		Bohemund had sent messengers to the other Crusader army and now struggled to hold on until help arrived, and his army was being forced back to the bank of the Thymbris river.

	Principality of Antioch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bohemund II, who married Baldwin's daughter Alice, ruled for only four short years, and the Principality was inherited by his young daughter Constance; Baldwin II acted as regent again until his death in 1131, when Fulk of Jerusalem took power.
		Bohemund was taken captive by Nur ad-Din the following year at the Battle of Harim, and the Orontes River became the permanent boundary between Antioch and Aleppo.
		Bohemund died in 1233, and Antioch, ruled by his son Bohemund V, played no important role in the Fifth Crusade, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II's struggles to take back Jerusalem in the Sixth Crusade, or Louis IX of France's Seventh Crusade.

	First Crusade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Bohemund asserted his claim to Antioch, but not everyone agreed, and the crusade was delayed for the rest of the year while the nobles argued amongst themselves.

		Bohemund, on the other hand, spread the rumour that Taticius was a coward and a traitor, and had fled the army never intending to return, despite his promises to bring back reinforcements from Constantinople.
		In April of 1099 Taticius and the Norman mercenary Landulf were made admirals and placed in charge of a fleet sent from Constantinople to confront a Pisan fleet on its way to assist the crusaders, which had been pillaging the coasts of the Empire.

	Bohemund I, de Hauteville, count of Taranto, prince of Antioch (c.1057-1111)
		Bohemund's response was to launch an invasion of his brothers lands, and by the time the Pope made peace between the brothers in 1098, Bohemund, as count of Taranto, had conquered most of his fathers lands.
		Although of lower birth than most of the senior crusadors, Bohemund, with Raymond of Toulouse came to be acknowledged as the commanders of the First Crusade.
		Bohemund justified his claim to the city by leading a sortie out against the besieging army, winning the battle of the Orontes (28 June 1098), against much larger numbers and saving the crusade.

		Bohemund, on the other hand, claimed that this was treachery or cowardice, reason enough to break any obligations to return Antioch to the Byzantines, and he too would leave unless he was allowed to keep Antioch for himself when it was captured.
		Bohemund drew up six divisions: he commanded one himself, and the other five were led by Hugh of Vermandois and Robert of Flanders, Godfrey, Robert of Normandy, Adhemar, and Tancred and Gaston IV of Béarn.
		At the beginning of 1099 the march was renewed, leaving Bohemund behind as the first Prince of Antioch, and in the spring the Siege of Jerusalem began under the leadership of Raymond.

	Byzantine Court’s Attitude Toward the Franks
		One of the last to arrive, in April 1097, was Bohemund of Taranto.
		Bohemund was, to put it briefly, like no other man seen in the Byzantine Empire, whether barbarian or Greek.
		When the Emperor Alexius had heard that Bohemund, that most noble man, had arrived at Constantinople, he gave orders that he should be received honourably, but also, cautiously, that he should be looked after outside the city.

		At the very outset he had to meet the formidable attack of the Normans (led by Robert Guiscard and his son Bohemund), who took Dyrrhachium and Corfu, and laid siege to Larissa in Thessaly (see Battle of Dyrrhachium).
		Alexios dealt with the first disorganized group of crusaders, led by the preacher Peter the Hermit, by sending them on to Asia Minor, where they were massacred by the Turks in 1096.
		The second and much more formidable host of crusaders gradually made its way to Constantinople, led in sections by Godfrey of Bouillon, Bohemund of Taranto, Raymond IV of Toulouse and other important members of the western nobility.

		Bohemund quarreled with Raymond of Toulouse over who would rule Antioch until the more zealous Crusaders threatened to raze the city's walls if the march on Jerusalem did not resume.
		Raymond conceded possession of Antioch to Bohemund and agreed to lead the Crusaders onward.
		Bohemund's Norman-born nephew, Tancred, accompanied the march, partly out of faith and partly, no doubt, to keep an eye out for further opportunities for his family.
