Biography

Younger son of Theodosius and the man on whose watch the Western Empire began to disintegrate. He withdrew the legions from Britain in 410, the same year Alaric's Visigoths sacked Rome — the first time the city had been taken by a foreign army in nearly eight centuries. Reportedly, on hearing news of Rome's fall, Honorius mistook the report as referring to his prized chicken named Roma.
