Honorius (emperor)
Honorius (Latin: Flavius Honorius Augustus; 9 September 384 – 15 August 423), was Western Roman Emperor from 393 to 423. He was the younger son of emperor Theodosius I and his first wife Aelia Flaccilla, and brother of Arcadius, who was the Eastern Emperor from 395 until his death in 408.
Even by the standards of the rapidly declining Western Empire, Honorius's reign was precarious and chaotic. His reign was supported by his principal general, Stilicho, who was successively Honorius's guardian (during his childhood) and his father-in-law (after the emperor became an adult). Stilicho's generalship helped preserve some level of stability, but with his execution in 408, the Western Roman Empire moved closer to collapse. Honorius is widely considered as one of the worst of the emperors; it was during his reign that Rome was sacked for the first time in 800 years.
Rule
Early reign
After holding the consulate at the age of two, Honorius was declared Augustus by his father Theodosius I, and thus co-ruler, on 23 January 393 after the death of Valentinian II and the usurpation of Eugenius. When Theodosius died, in January 395, Honorius and Arcadius divided the Empire, so that Honorius became Western Roman Emperor at the age of ten.

Honorius: Barbarians, Usurpers and the Sack of Rome
Honorius, usually remembered as the emperor during the sack of Rome by the Visigoths and the loss of Britain, was not treated kindly by posterity with Procopius writing that he was more concerned with his fowl Rome than the actual city. However, by examining the long reign of this child-emperor what contemporary sources show is that the situation was far more nuanced and that perhaps even Honorius had some decent qualities.

Emperor Honorius and the Visigoths
Captain Jean-Luc Picard considers whether the Emperor Honorius, watching the Visigoths coming over the Seventh Hill, could truly realize that the Roman Empire was about to fall. (N.B. Rome was not the capital of the Western Roman Empire during this time, nor was it the seat of the Imperial government. Honorius would have been in Ravenna at the time of the sack of Rome in 410.)

(N.B. Rome was not the capital of the Western Roman Empire during this time, nor was it the seat of the Imperial government. Honorius would have been in Ravenna at the time of the sack of Rome in 410.)

Honorius, son of Theodosius turned out as one of the worst roman emperors. Even with Stilicho as a mentor, he has greatly hastened the collapse of the roman empire. In this documentary about the late roman empire, we examine the weak and incapable Western Roman Emperor Flavius Honorius. If only there had been another emperor to defend the empire against the barbarians.

The emperor Honorius is infamous for the sack of Rome and the loss of Britain during his reign. But when examining the evidence, do these generalisations really stand up to scrutiny?

Honorius, usually remembered as the emperor during the sack of Rome by the Visigoths and the loss of Britain, was not treated kindly by posterity with Procopius writing that he was more concerned with his fowl Rome than the actual city. However, by examining the long reign of this child-emperor what contemporary sources show is that the situation was far more nuanced and that perhaps even Honorius had some decent qualities.
Chapters:
00:00 Introduction
01:08 Prince Honorius
02:01 The Regency of Stilicho
04:14 The Gildonic War
10:33 A Peaceful Interlude
15:24 The Invasions of Alaric and Radagaisus
25:28 The Crossing of the Rhine
27:10 The Downfall of Stilicho
36:28 The Seven Emperors and the Fall of Britain
44:10 The Sack of Rome
46:52 The Empire Struck Back
50:56 Honorius' Domestic and Church Reforms
57:16 Constantius Visigothicus
01:01:25 The Visigothic Settlement and the Battle For Spain
01:07:23 Emperor Constantius III
01:09:13 Honorius' Final Years
01:13:41 Conclusion
Predecessor: Theodosius I
Successor: John the Tyrant (West) and Theodosius II (East)

Captain Jean-Luc Picard considers whether the Emperor Honorius, watching the Visigoths coming over the Seventh Hill, could truly realize that the Roman Empire was about to fall.
(N.B. Rome was not the capital of the Western Roman Empire during this time, nor was it the seat of the Imperial government. Honorius would have been in Ravenna at the time of the sack of Rome in 410.)

It would only be right of me to make a ranking of the Western Roman Emperors after I had already done one on the Roman Emperors. So here it is, hope you enjoy it.
Honorius (emperor)
Honorius (Latin: Flavius Honorius Augustus; 9 September 384 – 15 August 423), was Western Roman Emperor from 393 to 423. He was the younger son of emperor Theodosius I and his first wife Aelia Flaccilla, and brother of Arcadius, who was the Eastern Emperor from 395 until his death in 408.
Even by the standards of the rapidly declining Western Empire, Honorius's reign was precarious and chaotic. His reign was supported by his principal general, Stilicho, who was successively Honorius's guardian (during his childhood) and his father-in-law (after the emperor became an adult). Stilicho's generalship helped preserve some level of stability, but with his execution in 408, the Western Roman Empire moved closer to collapse. Honorius is widely considered as one of the worst of the emperors; it was during his reign that Rome was sacked for the first time in 800 years.
Rule
Early reign
After holding the consulate at the age of two, Honorius was declared Augustus by his father Theodosius I, and thus co-ruler, on 23 January 393 after the death of Valentinian II and the usurpation of Eugenius. When Theodosius died, in January 395, Honorius and Arcadius divided the Empire, so that Honorius became Western Roman Emperor at the age of ten.
