Notes |
- By the time of the sack of Rome in 410, Placidia seems already to have been in Gothic hands. She was carried off with them to Gaul, and in 414 she was married in a Roman wedding ceremony to the Visigothic chieftain Athaulf at Narbonne
Step-sister of Honorius. Captured by Alaric I and held hostage. Married Ataulf, Alaric's successor, but was treated badly when he was murdered. Finaly returned to Honorius 416.
