BOHEMUND IV ., younger son of Bohemund III. by his second wife Orguilleuse, became See also:count of See also:Tripoli in 1187, and succeeded his See also:father in the principality of See also:Antioch, to the exclusion of See also:Raymund Rhupen, in 1201. But the dispute lasted for many years (See also:Leo of See also:Armenia continuing to See also:champion the cause of his See also:great-See also:nephew), and See also:long occupied the See also:attention of Innocert III. Bohemund IV. enjoyed the support of the See also:Templars (who, like the Knights of St See also:John, had estates in Tripoli) and of the See also:Greek inhabitants of Antioch, to whom he granted their own See also:patriarch in 1207, while Leo appealed (1210—1211) both to See also:Innocent III. and the See also:emperor See also:Otto IV., and was supported by the Hospitallers. In 1216 Leo captured Antioch, and established Raymund Rhupen as its See also:prince; but he lost it again in less than four years, and it was once more in the See also:possession of Bohemund IV. when Leo died in 1220. Raymund Rhupen died in 1221; and after the event Bohemund reigned in Antioch and Tripoli till his See also:death, proving himself a determined enemy of the Hospitallers, and thereby incurring See also:excommunication in 1230. He first joined, and then deserted, the emperor See also:Frederick II., during the crusade of 1228–29; and he was excluded from the operation of the treaty of 1229. When he died in 1233, tre had just concluded See also:peace with the Hospitallers, and See also:Gregory IX. had released him from the excommunication of 1230.
