==Later life== There is very little concrete record for his life after returning to Europe and much of what is known is speculation or legend. However, Albert of Aix records that he died in 1131, as [[Prior (ecclesiastical)|prior]] of a church of the Holy Sepulchre which he had founded in France<ref name="Thomas Dudley Fosbroke 1843 p 317">Thomas Dudley Fosbroke, British Monachism; Or, Manners and Customs of the Monks and Nuns of England (etc.) 3.

It is thought that during the Siege of Antioch during the days of famine and cold weather,<ref name=":0" /> Peter attempted to flee only to be captured by the Norman Tancred and placed back on the battlefield in 1097.

His tomb is in [[Neufmoustier Abbey]], so it is presumed that this was his abbey but in another tradition the nearby [[Solières Abbey]] claims that it was his foundation. Peter's obituary is in the chronicle of Neufmoustier Abbey.<ref>l'original de cet obituaire se trouve au musée Curtius à Liège, page of 8 July 1115.</ref> On its page entry of 8 July 1115 the chronicle says that this day saw "the death of Dom Pierre, of pious memory, venerable priest and hermit, who deserved to be appointed by the Lord to announce the first to the holy Cross" and the text continues with "after the conquest of the holy land, Pierre returned to his native country" and also that "he founded this church ... and chooses them a decent burial". This record further supports Neufmoustier's claim as his foundation.
