Emperor Alexios wants Tancred to return the Principality of Antioch in its entirety to Constantinople, but Tancred is supported by the County of Tripoli and the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Tancred, in fact, had been the only Crusade leader who had not sworn to return conquered land to Alexios (although none of the other leaders, save for Raymond IV of Toulouse, had kept their oaths in any event).
Tancred remains regent in Antioch in the name of Bohemond II until his death in 1112 during a typhoid epidemic.
He had married Cecile of France, but dies childless.
He is s succeeded by Bohemond II, under the regency of Tancred's nephew Roger of Salerno.
