War of the Antiochene Succession
From Warlike
Q23498601
The War of the Antiochene Succession was a series of armed conflicts in northern Syria between 1201 and 1219 over the contested succession to Bohemond III of Antioch. The Principality of Antioch, the leading Christian power in the region during the late 12th century, faced a challenge to its dominance from the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. The capture of the key Syrian fortress Bagras by Leo II of Cilician Armenia sparked a prolonged conflict in the early 1190s. Leo attempted to seize Antioch, but the Greek and Latin burghers formed a commune that prevented the Armenians from taking control of the city. Bohemond III's eldest son, Raymond, died in 1197, leaving an infant son, Raymond-Roupen, whose mother, Alice, was Leo's niece and heir presumptive. Although Bohemond III and the Antiochene nobility recognised Raymond-Roupen's claim, the commune favoured Bohemond III's younger son, Bohemond, who already held the County of Tripoli.
