Valentinian II
375 to 392 AD
Son of Valentinian I; nephew of of Valens
Valentinian II was elevated as Western Roman Emperor at the age of four in 375, along with his half-brother Gratian. Valentinian and his family lived in Milan, and the empire was divided between them. In 387, Magnus Maximus, a Roman consul who had commanded an army in Briton, and in 383 (the year of Gratian's death) had declared himself emperor of Western Rome, crossed the Alps into the valley of the Po and threatened Milan. The emperor Valentinian II and his mother fled to Theodosius I, the Eastern Roman Emperor and Valentinian's brother in law. Valentinian was restored in 388 by Theodosius, following the death of Magnus Maximus. On May 15, 392, Valentinian was found hanged in his residence in the town of Vienne in Gaul. The Frankish soldier Arbogast, Valentinian's protector and magister militum, maintained that it was suicide. Arbogast made Eugenius, who was a pagan official, the Western Emperor.
