king of See also:Jerusalem, and, as such, See also:guardian of Antioch, was concerned to find a See also:husband for her, and sent envoys to See also:England to offer her See also:hand to Raymund, who was then at the See also:court of See also:- HENRY

Henry I. Raymund accepted the offer, and stealing in disguise through See also:southern See also:Italy, for fear of See also:apprehension by See also:Roger of See also:Sicily, who claimed the See also:inheritance of Antioch as See also:cousin of Bohemund I., he reached Antioch in 1135. Here he was married to Constance by the See also:patriarch, but not until he had done him See also:homage and fealty. The See also:marriage excited the indignation of Alice, the See also:mother of Constance, who had been led by the patriarch to think that it was she whom Raymund desired to wed; and the new prince had thus to See also:face the enmity of the princess See also:dowager and her party. In 1137 he had also to face the See also:advent of the eastern See also:emperor, See also:John See also:Comnenus, who had come See also:south partly to recover See also:Cilicia from See also:Leo, the prince of See also:Armenia, but partly, also, to assert his rights over Antioch. Raymund was forced to do homage, and even to promise to cede his principality as soon as he was recompensed by a new See also:fief, which John promised to carve for him in the See also:Mahommedan territory to the See also:east of Antioch. The expedition of 1138, in which Raymund joined with John, and which was to conquer this territory, naturally proved a failure: Raymund was not anxious to help the emperor to acquire new territories, when their acquisition only meant for him the loss of Antioch; and John had to return unsuccessful to See also:Byzantium, after vainly demanding from Raymund the surrender of the citadel of Antioch. There followed a struggle between Raymund and the patriarch. Raymund was annoyed by the homage which he had been forced to pay to the patriarch in 1135; and the dubious validity of the patriarch's See also:election offered a handle for opposition. Eventually Raymund triumphed, and the patriarch was deposed (1139). In 1142 John Comnenus returned to the attack; but Raymund refused to recognize or renew his previous submission; and John, though he ravaged the neighbourhood of Antioch, was unable to effect anything against him. When, however, Raymund demanded from See also:Manuel, who had succeeded John in 1143, the cession ofsome of the Cilician towns, he found that he had met his match. Manuel forced him to a humiliating visit to See also:Constantinople, during which he renewed his See also:oath of homage and promised to receive a See also:Greek patriarch. The last event of importance in Raymund's See also:life was the visit to Antioch in 1148 of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis VII. and his wife Eleanor, Raymund's niece. Raymund sought to prevent Louis from going south to Jerusalem, and to induce him to stay in Antioch and help in the See also:conquest of See also:Aleppo and Caesarea. Perhaps for this end he acquired an See also:influence over his niece, which was by some interpreted as a guilty intimacy. At any See also:rate Louis hastily See also:left Antioch, and Raymund was balked in his plans. In 1149 he See also:fell in See also:battle during an expedition against Nureddin. Raymund is described by William of See also:Tyre (the See also:main authority for his career) as handsome and affable; pre-eminent in the use of arms and military experience; litteratorum, licet ipse illiteratus esset, cultor (he caused the Chanson See also:des chetifs to be composed); a See also:regular churchman and a faithful husband; but headstrong, irascible and unreasonable, with too See also:great a See also:passion for gambling (bk. xiv. c. xxi.).
