Page "Bohemond I of Antioch" Paragraph 24

The anonymous Gesta Francorum is written by one of Bohemond's followers ; and The Alexiad of Anna Comnena is a primary authority for the whole of his life.

A 1924 biography exists by Yewdale.

See also the Gesta Tancredi by Ralph of Caen, which is a panegyric of Bohemond's second-in-command Tancred.

His career is discussed by B von Kugler, Bohemund und Tancred ( 1862 ); while L von Heinemann, Geschichte der Norniannen in Sicilien und Unteritalien ( 1894 ), and R. Röhricht, Geschichte des ersten Kreuzzuges ( 1901 ), and Geschichte das Königreichs Jerusalem ( 1898 ), may also be consulted for his history.

The only major biography that exists in English is " Tancred: a study of his career and work in their relation to the First Crusade and the establishment of the Latin states in Syria and Palestine " by Robert Lawrence Nicholson.

Details of his pre-crusade career can found in Geoffrey Malaterra's Deeds of Count Roger ....
