Abstract

In late 1180, after the death of Emperor Manuel Komnenos, Prince Bohemond III of Antioch put aside his imperial bride, Theodora Komnena, to marry an Antiochene woman named Sybil. What followed was an internal uprising against the ruler encompassing the entire breadth of the principality’s Church and most of its aristocracy, led by Aimery of Limoges, patriarch of Antioch, and Renaud II Masoir, lord of Margat. This fracture likely endured until early 1182 and had far-reaching implications, but has received only piecemeal historical attention. Nevertheless, the rebellion of 1180-82 reveals a great deal about the political climate of the Latin frontier in twelfth-century northern Syria, demonstrating the dynamic realities of power in the principality of Antioch.
