What was the nature of Bohemond's conflict with Alexius I Komnenos after the First Crusade?

  • Economic sanctions

  • Territorial disputes

  • Religious disagreements

  • Personal feud

Answer

Territorial disputes were the root cause of the conflict between Bohemond, the Norman prince of Antioch, and Alexius I Komnenos, the Byzantine emperor, following the First Crusade. Bohemond's desire to expand his newly established principality at the expense of Byzantine territory, particularly in Cilicia and northern Syria, clashed with Alexius's determination to reassert Byzantine control over these areas.
