AFter the death of Theodosius, Arcadius ruled at Constantinople, & Honori∣us at Rome, deuiding the Empire betwixt them: for while their father liued he made thé his co-paiteners in the Empire, & bycause at the time of his death, they were not of age to sway so great a state; by his Testament he committed the tuition of Arcadius, to Rufinus, and of Honorius to Stilico, and made Gildo gouernor of Affrique. Rufinus first of all breaking the trust to him committed, which in al antiquity remained inuiolable, sent to Alaric••s King of Gothes to attempt Warre against Arcadius, thinking by this meanes to pro∣cure to himselfe the Empire of the Fast, and for this cause he gaue him many [ A] bribes, which being discouered he was slaine by the Souldiers, for that so wic∣ked inuention. Caianus following the plot of Rufinus, by the ayd of the Gothes, raised c••uil warre, and being ouercome in a battell by sea he fled away, and in that flight lost his head; which being set vpon a pole, was brought to Constan∣tinople. When Arcadius had ruled thirteen yeares, he departed this mortal life, leauing behinde him his sonne Theodosius, whom in his life time he had made Caesar. This was a prince of a softly wit, hauing no resemblance of his f••thers or his Graund-fathers vertue; wholy addicting himselfe to please his Wife Eudoxia, for whose sake among other euil things, hee bainshed Chrisostem the [ B] patriaich of Constantinople a man very famous for his learning and holynesse.
