Bohemond III of Antioch

Bohemond III of Antioch, also known as Bohemond the Child or the Stammerer , was Prince of Antioch from 1163 till 1201. He was the elder son of Constance of Antioch and her first husband, Raymond of Poitiers. Bohemond mounted the throne after the Antiochene noblemen dethroned his mother with the assistance of Thoros II, Lord of Armenian Cilicia. He fell into captivity in the Battle of Artah in 1164, but the victorious Nur adDin, atabeg of Aleppo released him, because he did not want to come into conflict with the Byzantine Empire. Bohemond went to Constantinople to do homage to Manuel I Komnenos who persuaded him to install a Greek Patriarch in Antioch. The Latin Patriarch of Antioch, Aimery of Limoges, placed Antioch under interdict. Bohemond restored Aimery only after the Greek patriarch died during an earthquake in 1170.

Bohemond was the elder son of Raymond of Poitiers, Prince of Antioch, and Constance, who was princessregnant of Antioch by birth. He was born around 1148. Raymond of Poitiers died fighting against Nur adDin, atabeg of Aleppo, in the Battle of Inab onJune 1149.
