Honorius, Flavius AD384-423
Western Roman emperor

He was the second son of Theodosius I, the Great, at whose death (AD395) the empire was divided between his sons Arcadius and Honorius, the latter (only 10 years old) receiving the western half. Stilicho was the de facto ruler of the western empire until 408, and after his death Alaric I, the Goth, overran Italy, and took Rome (410). Honorius died at Ravenna, which he had made his capital in 403.
