==Succession== Robert's oldest son, [[Bohemond I of Antioch|Bohemond]], was declared illegitimate when Robert and [[Alberada of Buonalbergo|Alberada]]'s marriage was annulled due to [[consanguinity]]. Thus, he was succeeded as Duke of Apulia and Calabria by his eldest son by [[Sikelgaita]], [[Roger Borsa]]. Bohemond was initially supposed to inherit Robert's conquests in the Balkans, but this didn't happen as they were soon re-conquered by the Byzantines. He instead got some land around the city of [[Taranto]]. Bohemond would later become one of the leaders of the [[First Crusade|first crusade]] and the first [[prince of Antioch]]. Guiscard's other sons, [[Guy of Hauteville|Guy]] and [[Robert Scalio]], never claimed any title for themselves. The descendants of Robert's brother, [[Roger I of Sicily|Roger I]], Count of Sicily, would later create the [[Kingdom of Sicily]].
