Which region did Bohemond rule that had formerly been Byzantine territory?

  • Sicily

  • Crete

  • Peloponnese

  • Antioch

Answer

As the answer suggests, Bohemond ruled Antioch, formerly a Byzantine territory. He secured control of Antioch during the First Crusade in 1098 and established the Principality of Antioch. Bohemond's rule marked a significant shift in power dynamics in the region, as the Byzantine Empire lost control of Antioch to the Crusaders.
