On the day of the synod over Radulf of Domfront, many bishops appeared: William the patriarch, Gaudentius of Caesarea, Anselm of Bethlehem and Fulcher of Tyre with two suffregans, Bernard of Sidon and Baldwin of Beirut. Alberic the papal legate had special hopes in Fulcher's discretion. The local bishops of the diocese of Antioch was were all there, but divided: Stephanos of Tarsos, Gerard of Laodikeia and Hugh of Jabala were against Radulf, while Franco of Ierapolis, Gerard of Kyrros and Serlo of Apamea were his supporters; others were neutral. Serlo had been an opponent, but changed his mind. Alberic presided in Hagios Peteros on behalf of the pope, and the pope's mandate was read. The accusers were led by Arnulf and Lambert the archdeacon, who had repented of his submission to Radulf. The accusations involved irregularities in Radulf's installation, and sinful acts of incontinence and simony. Radulf was called on each of the first two days to answer the charges, but refused to come; thus nothing was achieved. Serlo of Apamea was the sole bishop without pontifical robes. When asked by Alberic why he was so dressed and why he had changed his mind over accusing Radulf, he said that his previous stance was a grave mistake, of which he now repented and would defend Radulf to the death. After this, he was excommunicated and deposed from all offices, as Raymond the prince was determined to brook no opposition, influencing even Alberic. Serlo left Antioch for his diocese, but fell mortally ill at Harim and died. On the third day of the synod, Radulf agsin refused to attend, but kept court for his supporters in his palace. Thus Alberic, under protection of Raymond the prince, went there to depose him and force him to give up symbols of his office; he was bound like a criminal and imprisoned at St Symeon
