ANTIOCHUS V

Called Antiochus Eupator, meaning “of a noble father” (173–162 BC), the son of Antiochus IV, and king of Syria from 163 to 162 BC. The boy king traveled with his regent Lysias to relieve the besieged Jerusalem in 163 BC. He eventually made peace with Judas Maccabeus. Returning to Antioch, Antiochus V was betrayed by his cousin Demetrius I who also claimed the throne. The young king and his regent were put to death in 162 BC.
