Notes

1. FLAVIUS CONSTANTIUS (-2 Sep 421). He succeeded 8 Feb 421 as Emperor CONSTANTIUS III. m (1 Jan 417) as her second husband, GALLA PLACIDIA, widow of ATAULF King of the Visigoths, daughter of Emperor THEODOSIUS I & his second wife Galla (-Rome 27 Nov 450). Iordanes records the marriage of "Constantio patricio" and Placidia after the latter was returned to Rome by Walia King of the Visigoths[104]. The Chronicon of Bishop Idatius records the death in 450 of “Valentiniani Imperatoris mater Placidia…apud Romam”[105]. Emperor Constantius & his wife had two children:

a) HONORIA ([417/18]-). The Pauli Historiæ Romanæ names "Honoria et Valentiniano" as the children of Placidia Augusta[106]. The order in which the children are named suggests that Honoria was the older child but this is not certain. Iordanes records that Attila unsuccessfully proposed marriage to "Honoriam Valentiniani principis germanam, filiam Placidiæ Augustæ"[107].

b) VALENTINIAN (Ravenna 2 Jul 419-murdered 16 Mar 455). The Chronicle of Marcellinus records the birth "419 V Non Iul" at Ravenna of "Valentinianus iunior…patre Constantio et Placidia matre"[108].
