Notes<hr>
        Pulcheria, born in Constantinople on January 19, 399 and died on November 11, 453, is the sister of Theodosius II and a Byzantine regent, then Byzantine empress after the flight of Eudoxia. This text says that she would have fled in turn after the return of Eudoxia to Constantinople, but no historical writing confirms this. This situation probably never existed.<hr>
        Eudoxia II, born around 400 in Athens and died in 460, is a Byzantine empress, and the daughter of Leontia and a female writer of the 5th century. Her increasing influence on Theodosius, her husband, eventually earned her the hostility of Pulcheria and her condemnation to death. She fled to Jerusalem. This text tells us that she would have returned to Constantinople, but no historical trace confirms this. Her return to Constantinople probably never happened.<hr>
        Chrysaphius is a eunuch of the Roman court in the East who becomes Prime Minister under Theodosius II.

Along the way, he amassed a vast fortune in bribes. Many ancient accounts describe him as a sinister character.<hr>
