Answer
The Byzantine Empire, centred in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), had a profound influence on Bohemond, the son of Robert Guiscard, Norman ruler of southern Italy and Sicily. Bohemond, who would later become a prominent leader of the First Crusade, spent his formative years in close proximity to the Byzantines, absorbing their culture, politics, and military strategies.
