The childless
After Saladin conquered almost the whole
Saladin released Guy of Lusignan who joined his wife.
Bohemond's stepmother, Sybil, wanted to secure the succession of Antioch to her son, William.[5] Leo, Lord of Armenian Cilicia exploited her ambitions.[5][19] With her assistance, he captured and imprisoned Bohemond III in early 1194.[5][20][21] Leo also forced Bohemond III to surrender Antioch to him, but the Latin and Greek burghers formed a commune and prevented the Armenian soldiers from seizing the town.[21] The commune proclaimed Bohemond III's elder son, Raymond, regent.[21] Bohemond hurried from Tripoli to Antioch at the head of his army to help his brother, compelling the Armenian troops to return to Cilicia.[22] Leo released their father only after Bohemond III renounced his claim to suzerainty over Cilicia.[22]
Raymond died in early 1197.
In early 1198, Bohemond marched to Antioch and gained the support of the military orders and the Italian merchants, promising new grants to them.
War of Succession
Bohemond hurried to Antioch when his father died in April 1201.
Leo tried to gain the support of the Holy See against Bohemond, promising to
In 1203,
Renoart of Nephin pillaged the countryside and led his troops to Tripoli in late 1204.[32] Bohemond lost an eye in a battle at the gates of the town.[32] He could only crush the rebellion after Aimery died in April 1205.[32] He captured both Nephin and Gibelcar before the end of the year, forcing Renart to flee to Cyprus.[35] Before long, Bohemond returned to Antioch.[39]
Bohemond had already been on bad terms with the Latin patriarch of Antioch,
Peter of Angoulême helped Raymond-Roupen's supporters to return from Cilicia to Antioch in late 1207.
The Hospitallers made raids against Hama, Homs and Latakia from their castles in Bohemond's realms.[45] Al-Adil I, the Ayyubid ruler of Damascus and Egypt, blamed Bohemond for the knights' actions.[46] Al-Adil broke into the County of Tripoli, forcing Bohemond to pay a compensation in 1208 or 1209.[45]
Az-Zahir Ghazi invaded Cilicia to prevent Leo from attacking Antioch in 1209.
A group of Assassins murdered Bohemond's eldest son, Raymond, in 1213.[45] At the time, the Assassins were tributaries to the Hospitallers and Bohemond suspected the Hospitallers had been involved in the murder.[48] After Bohemond and the Templars laid siege their fortress at Khawabi, the Assassins sought assistance from Bohemond's old ally, Az-Zahir Ghazi.[49] Az-Zahir Ghazi appealed to Al-Adil, although they had been enemies.[49] Their alliance forced Bohemond to lift the siege and to send an apology to Az-Zahir Ghazi.[49]
Bohemond preferred to stay in Tripoli which caused discontent among the citizens of Antioch.[45] Peter of Ivrea, the Hospitallers and Acharie of Sermin, who was the senechal of Antioch and head of the commune, started negotiations with Leo of Cilicia about the surrender of Antioch to Raymond-Roupen.[50] They helped the Cilician troops to enter Antioch on 14 February 1216.[50] The Templars abandoned the citadel without resistance and Raymond-Roupen was installed as prince.[50]

Conflicts
In 1219, a group of Antiochene noblemen rose up against Raymond-Roupen who had lost Leo of Cilicia's support.[55][56] Their leader, William Farabel, urged Bohemond to come to Antioch.[55] Raymond-Roupen sought refuge in the citadel, but he was forced to leave Antioch.[55][56] He entrusted the citadel to the Hospitallers.[57] Bohemond hurried to Antioch and seized the principality.[55][56] The Hospitallers abandoned the citadel without resistance.[57]
Before long, Bohemond granted Jabala (which was still to be conquered) to the Templars although Raymond-Roupen had promised the town to the Hospitallers.[57] The papal legate, Cardinal Pelagius, brokered an agreement between the military orders, dividing the town between them.[57] However, Bohemond remained hostile to the Hospitallers.[57] After he confiscated their property in Antioch, Pelagius excommunicated him.[57]
Constantine of Baberon, the regent for Isabella of Cilicia, offered her hand to Bohemond's son, Philip, because he needed Bohemond's assistance against Kayqubad I, Sultan of Rum.[57][58] Bohemond accepted the offer and his son married Isabella in June 1222.[57][59] Bohemond and Philip repelled a Seldjuq attack against Cilicia.[59] Philip's blatant favoritism towards his Frankish retainers enabled Constantine of Baberon to hatch a plot against him.[59] Philip and his supporters were captured and imprisoned at the end of 1224.[59] Bohemond tried to ensure his son's liberation through negotiations.[59] He appealed to Pope Honorius III, but the pope confirmed his excommunication and forbade the Templars to assist him.[59][57] Bohemond persuaded Kayqubad I to invade Cilicia.[59][60] Although Bohemond's son had already been poisoned, Constantine of Baberon promised that Philip would be released if Bohemond come to Cilicia.[61] Shortly after Bohemond's departure, Shihab ad-Din Toghrul, atabeg of Aleppo, broke into the Principality of Antioch.[61] After learning of his son's death and Toghrul's invasion, Bohemond hurried back.[59][61]
The Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick II, summoned the Christian rulers of Syria and the Holy Land to Cyprus.[62] Bohemond joined him while Frederick was marching from Limassol to Nicosia in August 1228.[62] Frederick demanded an oath of fealty for Antioch and Tripoli from Bohemond, but Bohemond feigned a nervous breakdown and returned to Nephin.[63][64] Bohemond again met Frederick in Acre in 1229, but Bohemond's realms were not included in the peace treaty between Frederick and Al-Kamil, sultan of Egypt, on 18 February 1229.[64][65]
