Honorius (Latin: Flavius Honorius, c. 384 - 15 August 423) Was a Western Roman emperor from 23 January 393 - 15 August 423. Honorius inherited the Western half of the Roman Empire after the death of emperor Theodosius I, while his brother Arcadius inherited the Eastern half.
His reign was pretty chaotic with constant civil wars and revolts and in 410 AD, Rome was sacked for the first time in 800 years by the Visigoths.
