Honorius 384-423

 


Flavius Honorius was the emperor of the West Roman Empire from 393 to 423.

 

The Family of Honorius

Honorius' father was Roman Emperor Theodosius I.

Honorius' mother was Aelia Flacilla.

Honorius' elder brother was Arcadius, who became sole emperor of the East Roman Empire after their father's death in 395.

Honorius wife was Maria, daughter of Flavius Stilicho. Maria died and Honorius kept it in the family and married Maria's sister Thermantia.

 

Honorius' Reign

Honorius was ten years old when his father, Theodosius I, died and he, Honorius, became emperor.

Honorius had his hands full with the Visigoths.


In 407 Honorius decided to withdraw his troops from Britain, a decision that he confirmed in 410 by means of the Honorian Rescript.

See also Roman Britain.

 

But focusing on mainland Europe wasn't good enough. In 410, and led by Alaric, the Visigoths sacked Rome. Honorius fled to Ravenna.
