CHAP. XLIV. That the Emperour Valentinianus Junior married Eudoxia the daughter of Theodosius.
HE had a daughter by his Wife Eudocia, her name Eudoxia. His * 1.1 Cousin Ger∣mane Valentinianus, whom he had made Empe∣rour of the Western parts, desired he might marry this [Princess.] To which when the
descriptionPage 393
Emperour Theodosius had given his consent, and both the Augusti (after they had deliberated a∣bout celebrating the marriage at some place on the frontiers of both Empires,) had resolved each to make a journey half way, and do it at Thessalonica: Valentinianus sends Theodosius intimation by Letter, that he should not give him∣self that trouble: for, that he would come in per∣son to Constantinople. Having therefore secured the Western parts [with a sufficient guard,] he comes to Constantinople on account of the mar∣riage. Which having been celebrated in the Consulate of a 1.2Isidorus and Senator, he took his Wife, and returned into the Western parts. Such a felicity as this befell the Emperour at that time.
These persons were Con∣suls on the year of Christ 436. But Prosper, Marcellinus Comes in his Chronicon, and the Authour of the A∣lexandrian Chronicle, disagree from Socrates. For those Authours relate, that this marriage was celebrated on the year following, whereon Aë∣tius bore his second Consulate with Sigisvultus, in the month of No∣vember. The same is confirmed by Jordanes in his book de Successione Reg∣norum; where after he has spoken concerning the whoredom committed by Honoria with her Procurator Eugenius, which was done in the Con∣sulate of Areobindus and Aspar on the year of Christ 434; He adds these words; Posthaec tertio anno Valentinianus, &c. On the third year after this the Emperour Valentinianus comes from Rome to Constantinople in order to his marr••ing Eudoxia daughter to the Emperour Theodosius: and having given all Illyria as a gratuity to his Father in Law, after the celebration of the marriage, he returned with his Wife to his own King∣domes. Cassiodorus Senator attests the same concerning the donation of the Western Illyricum (book 11. Variarum, Epist. 1. pag. 684, Edit. Aurel. Allobrog. 1622.) in these words: Placidiam mundi opi∣nione celebratam, avorum [or, principum, or, aliquorum, as 'tis in some Copies,] Prosapia gloriosam, purpurato filio studuisse percepimus; cujus dum remisse administrat Imperium, indecenter cognoscitur imminutum. Nurum denique sibi amissione Illyrici comparavit, factaque est conjunctio reg••an••is, divisio dole••da provinciis. Vales.
