List of improvements:


 * Only one source cited in the article, and an old one at that (Steven Runciman).
 * Add more sources.
 * No disparate sections in the article, so it's hard to read.
 * Break up into sections and expand each with more info.
 * The section on the visions he received from St. Andrew should be expanded to what those visions specifically were, how they related to Adhemar.
 * Perhaps a section on the Holy Lance itself that gives a brief overview of the mythology behind the Spear of Longinus and links to its separate (and much more detailed) wiki page.
 * What was the medieval siginificance of St. Andrew in those days?
 * Expand this more to explain the mystical medieval context.
 * Add a section which examines critically whether PB's story was true or not, and whether he actually believed it or not.
 * Present evidence from his life and the times he lived in to support both sides.
