Bohemond or Boamund (died in or after 1176) was the
Count of Astarac from as early as 1153 until his death. His unusual name probably derives from the counts of Pardiac
Bohemond was the second son of
prioress of Bolauc, not to burn Simorre. In 1154 Bohemond had to borrow money from his mother in order to bribe Géraud d'Esparbès, the abbot of Saramon
whom he had expelled, from plundering Astarac.
Bohemond married Rouge (Rubea) de Marsan, daughter of
Archbishop of Auch. In 1175, in his final recorded act, Bohemond again donated property, this time property previously sold by his father and brother, to Berdoues. Bohemond's eldest daughter predeceased him and he was succeeded by Marquese. His youngest daughter, Beatrice
, also later ruled Astarac.
