Historical background
HONORIUS
(01/22/393-08/15/423)
Born in 384, Honorius was named Augustus in 393. On the death of his father, he inherited the West with Stilicho as regent. The beginning of the 5th century saw an unprecedented wave of invasions. The limes definitely give way under the pressure. In 410, Rome was even taken. The Western empire is in full disintegration. Numerous usurpations took place in Brittany with Constantin III, in Gaul with Constans, Jovin and Sébastien, in Spain with Maxime and in Italy with Attale. Honorius dies in Ravenna in 423 after thirty years of reign, leaving an empire disintegrated.
