Radulf was sent home honourably, excluded from Antioch but soon reinstated

Summary:
The patriarch of Antioch, Radulf of Domfront, after staying in Rome to finish his business, visited Sicily on the way back to Antioch, as had been arranged on the outward journey. He was well received by Roger II, and given an honourable escort of several ships to St Simeon. He went up to Antioch and asked for a solemn entrance, but his clergy, supported (or inspired) by Raymond of Poitiers, refused to admit him. He decided to wait in a monastery in the Black Mountains for the mood to change, amid accusations from Arnulf of Calabria that he was conspiring with Roger II against Antioch
