BOHEMUND VII. (d. 1287), son of Bohemund VI. by Sibylla, sister of Leo III. of Armenia, succeeded to the county of Tripoli in 1275, with his mother as regent. He had trouble with the Tem plars who were established in Tripoli ; and in the very year of his death he lost Laodicea to the sultan of Egypt. He died without issue ; and as, within two years of his death, Tripoli was captured, the county of Tripoli may be said to have become extinct with him.
