Product Description
Bohemond was the ablest and most experienced commander of the First Crusade in 1095. Unlike many other leaders, he had no family wealth or territories and sought both. His father Robert “the Wiley” Guiscard conquered dominions in Southern Italy and Sicily. Bohemond, his first-born from a discarded wife, would be his reliable comrade in battle; but Robert would will his holdings to the sons of his second wife.
Bohemond took up the crusader cross to create for himself a kingdom in the East. His resources were an agile and intelligent mind, his experience in battle, his long sword, and his enormous presence, which were admired by his fellow warriors.
When the crusaders captured Antioch on the way to Jerusalem, Bohemond remained in Antioch, naming himself Prince and ruler of the city and adjacent county.
