While Arabic sources credit a gale with dispersing the fleet, Hugo Falcandus asserts that Peter was "only in name and dress a Christian, and a Saracen at heart". Falcandus' assertion can probably be discredited, at least with respect to this point in Peter's life, for the admiral did not fall out of favour at court. In fact, he was promoted to the office of Great Chamberlain.
Arabic sources suggest a storm caused the fleet to scatter, while Hugo Falcandus states that Peter was "essentially Christian in name and appearance but Saracen at heart". Falcandus' claim might be discredited regarding this point in Peter's life. In fact, he was promoted to the role of Great Chamberlain.
