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.
According to Arabic sources, a storm dispersed the fleet, while Hugo Falcandus argues that Peter was "essentially Christian in name and appearance but Saracen at heart". Falcandus' assertion could be discredited regarding this point in Peter's life since he did not lose his position of authority. In fact, he was elevated to the role of Great Chamberlain.
