BOHEMUND III. (d. 1201), was the son of Constance, daughter of Bohemund II., by her first husband, Raymund of Antioch. He succeeded his mother in the principality of Antioch in 1163, and first appears prominently in 1164, as regent of the kingdom of Jerusalem during the expedition of Amalric I. to Egypt. During the absence of Amalric he was defeated and captured by Nured din (Aug. 5564) at Harenc, to the east of Antioch. He was at once ransomed by his brother-in-law, the Emperor Manuel, and went to Constantinople, whence he returned with a Greek patri arch. In 1177 he made an unsuccessful attempt to recapture Harenc. In I I 8o he deserted his second wife, the princess Orguil leuse, for a certain Sibylla, and he was in consequence excommuni cated. By Orguilleuse he had had two sons, Raymund and Bohe mund (the future Bohemund IV.) . Raymund married Alice, a daughter of the Armenian prince Rhupen (Rupin), brother of Leo of Armenia, and died in 1197, leaving behind him a son, Raymund Rhupen; and the problem which occupied the last years of Bo hemund III. was to determine whether his grandson, Raymund Rhupen, or his younger son, Bohemund, should succeed him in Antioch. Leo of Armenia championed his great-nephew, Raymund Rhupen. Bohemund the younger, however, prosecuted his claim with vigour, and even evicted his father from Antioch about 5599; but he was ousted by Leo (now king of Armenia by the grace of the emperor, Henry VI.), and Bohemund III. died in possession of his principality (5201).
