Prince of Antioch
Prince of Antioch (Latin: princeps Antiochenus) was the title given during the Middle Ages to Norman rulers of the Principality of Antioch, a region surrounding the city of Antioch (modern Antakya, Turkey). The Princes originally came from the County of Sicily. Prince Bohemond IV of Antioch additionally came into possession of the County of Tripoli, combining these two Crusader states for the rest of their histories.[citation needed]
Bohemond I claimed Antioch under contentious circumstances during the First Crusade after previously pledging to return former Byzantine lands to Alexios I Komnenos. Bohemond began issuing documents calling himself the prince of Antioch circa 1106, after his return from the crusade.
Antioch had been the chief city of the region since the time of the Roman Empire. When the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt drove out the knights in 1268, they largely destroyed the city to deny access to the region in case the Crusaders returned.[citation needed]
The Lordship of Saône was centered on the castle of Saône, but included the towns of Sarmada (lost in 1134) and Balatanos. Saône was captured by Saladin from the last lord, Matthew, in 1188.
Like Jerusalem, Antioch had its share of great officers, including Constable, Marshal, Seneschal, Duc, Vicomte, Butler, Chamberlain, and Chancellor.
