Ruling monarch of the Principality of Antioch (1098-1268)
Family tree of the Princes of Antioch
Prince of Antioch was the title given during the Middle Ages to Norman rulers of the Principality of Antioch , a region surrounding the city of Antioch , now known as Antakya in Turkey . The Princes originally came from the County of Sicily in Southern Italy . After 1130 and until 1816 this county was known as the Kingdom 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.
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.
