Raymund accepted the offer, and stealing in disguise through See also:southern See also:Italy, for fear of See also:apprehension by See also:Roger of See also:Sicily, who claimed the See also:inheritance of Antioch as See also:cousin of Bohemund I., he reached Antioch in 1135
.
Here he was married to Constance by the See also:patriarch, but not until he had done him See also:homage and fealty
.
The See also:marriage excited the indignation of Alice, the See also:mother of Constance, who had been led by the patriarch to think that it was she whom Raymund desired to wed; and the new prince had thus to See also:face the enmity of the princess See also:dowager and her party
.
In 1137 he had also to face the See also:advent of the eastern See also:emperor, See also:John See also:Comnenus, who had come See also:south partly to recover See also:Cilicia from See also:Leo, the prince of See also:Armenia, but partly, also, to assert his rights over Antioch
.
Raymund was forced to do homage, and even to promise to cede his principality as soon as he was recompensed by a new See also:fief, which John promised to carve for him in the See also:Mahommedan territory to the See also:east of Antioch
.
The expedition of 1138, in which Raymund joined with John, and which was to conquer this territory, naturally proved a failure: Raymund was not anxious to help the emperor to acquire new territories, when their acquisition only meant for him the loss of Antioch; and John had to return unsuccessful to See also:Byzantium, after vainly demanding from Raymund the surrender of the citadel of Antioch
.
There followed a struggle between Raymund and the patriarch
.
Raymund was annoyed by the homage which he had been forced to pay to the patriarch in 1135; and the dubious validity of the patriarch's See also:election offered a handle for opposition
.
Eventually Raymund triumphed, and the patriarch was deposed (1139)
.
In 1142 John Comnenus returned to the attack; but Raymund refused to recognize or renew his previous submission; and John, though he ravaged the neighbourhood of Antioch, was unable to effect anything against him
.
When, however, Raymund demanded from See also:Manuel, who had succeeded John in 1143, the cession ofsome of the Cilician towns, he found that he had met his match
.
Manuel forced him to a humiliating visit to See also:Constantinople, during which he renewed his See also:oath of homage and promised to receive a See also:Greek patriarch
.
The last event of importance in Raymund's See also:life was the visit to Antioch in 1148 of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis VII. and his wife Eleanor, Raymund's niece
.
Raymund sought to prevent Louis from going south to Jerusalem, and to induce him to stay in Antioch and help in the See also:conquest of See also:Aleppo and Caesarea
.
Perhaps for this end he acquired an See also:influence over his niece, which was by some interpreted as a guilty intimacy
.
At any See also:rate Louis hastily See also:left Antioch, and Raymund was balked in his plans
.
In 1149 he See also:fell in See also:battle during an expedition against Nureddin
.
Raymund is described by William of See also:Tyre (the See also:main authority for his career) as handsome and affable; pre-eminent in the use of arms and military experience; litteratorum, licet ipse illiteratus esset, cultor (he caused the Chanson See also:des chetifs to be composed); a See also:regular churchman and a faithful husband; but headstrong, irascible and unreasonable, with too See also:great a See also:passion for gambling (bk. xiv. c. xxi.)
