CHAP. IX. Of the three sonnes of Constantine.
COnstantine when he had raigned 38. yeares appointed by his last will and testament, that his three sonnes,* 1.1 Constan∣tinus, Constantius, and Constans should rule the Empire in seuerall parts seuerally: to wit, Constantinus, in France, Spaine, and Germanie; Constantius in the East, & Constans in Italie and Illyricum.
Constantinus was not content with partiall assigned go∣uernment, but desired to haue the sole and onely administration of the Empire: for which cause, hauing too much confidence in the power of man, specially in an euil cause, he made warres a∣gainst his brother Constans in Italie; but by that occasion he was slaine, and so his brother Constans possessed al the West Empire.
