علاقة الصليبيين في بلاد الشام بالبابوية : النورمان أنموذجا

Abstract EN

The settlement of the Norman Crusaders in the north of the Levant, and the establishment of the Principality of Antioch, is evidence of their ambition in the region.

Rather, their strategy was to expand at the expense of the neighboring regions.

As a result of their losses in the Levant, especially Antioch, it became necessary for the Norman Prince Bohemond to consolidate his relations with the West, especially the papacy, so that he might find support for his authority in the East, just as the subsequent princes of Antioch tried to benefit from the support of the papacy, but there was a collision as a result of the intersection of interests, This made the Church issue an excommunication decision regarding the princes opposed to its policy.
