This unfortunate daughter of Theodosius I was captured by Alaric in 410, during the Visigothic sack of Rome. She was held hostage by the Visigoths, and in 414 was married to the Visigothic leader Ataulf, to whom she bore a son, Valentinian III. During the first twelve years of the reign of her son, she acted as regent of the Western provinces, but her last years were dedicated to the erection of churches and other sacred buildings at Ravenna.

The elder sister of Valentinian III was named Augusta at an unknown date. About 449, she fell into disgrace, having become pregnant by a married court official. The emperor arranged an honorable marriage to a man of consular rank, but Honoria sent a secret appeal to Attilla the Hun inviting him to rescue her from her distress. Eager to claim an imperial bride, Attila invaded Gaul. He suffered the only defeat of his short but appalling career when his Huns were turned back at the Catalaunian Plain (451 AD) by an alliance of Roman and Visigothic forces. Honoria was degraded and perhaps exiled, but escaped execution for her act of treason. She died in 454 AD.
