Bohemond, Duke of Apulia

Bohemond, Duke of Apulia

Bohemond or Boamund is the only recorded son of William II of Sicily and his wife Joanna of England. According to Orderic Vitalis, in Normandy, he was born in 1181 and created duke of Apulia. The child certainly did not live long enough to feature in any other annals if he existed at all.
