Death of Peter of Lyons left Radulf's enemies in despair; Alberic of Beauvais replaced him as legate

Summary:
Innocent II in Rome had sent Peter, the archbishop of Lyons, as a papal legate to resolve the case of Radulf of Domfront. Peter arrived at Acre, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and was urged by Radulf's enemies, Arnulf and Lambert, to hurry to Antioch and finish his business. But he had only reached Acre from Jerusalem when he fell sick and died (some say of poison). Lambert, the archdeacon of Antioch, was disappointed by this turn of events, made his submission to Radulf and was confirmed in his post. Arnulf too was disappointed by the death of a legate who had seemed anxious to finish things. He was put under merciless pressure from Radulf. But he returned to Rome and succeeded in having Alberic of Beauvais chosen by Innocent II to replace Peter
