BOHEMUND V. (d. 1251), son of Bohemund IV. by his wife Plaisance (daughter of Hugh of Gibelet), succeeded his father in 1233, and carried on the struggle with Armenia till 1251, when the marriage of the future Bohemund VI. to the sister of the Arme nian king finally brought peace. By his first marriage in 12e5 with Alice, the widow of Hugh I. of Cyprus, Bohemund V. connected the history of Antioch for a time with that of Cyprus. He had resided chiefly at Tripoli, and under him Antioch was left to be governed by its bailiff and commune.
