Notes - At the orders of her brother, she was devoted to virginity, a situation she did not find to her liking. Circa 449 she was apprehended in a love affair with the overseer of her estates; both supposedly were engaged in a plot to seize power for Honoria. As a result, her lover was executed and she was exiled to Constantinople. She then appealed for help to Attila the Hun, at which the eastern emperor Theodosius II, who already had enough problems with the Huns, immediately dispatched her back to Italy -- with the recommendation that Valentinian turn her over to Attila. Valentinian, meanwhile, was enraged, and only spared her life because of the earnest entreaties of their mother. She then was compelled to marry a reliable senator named Flavius Bassus Herculanus and subsequently she was kept under close guard.
