Notities over Eudoxia of Eastern Roman Empire

Eudoxia (d. 6 Oct 404), wife of, and a powerful influence over, theEastern Roman emperor Arcadius (reigned 383-408).

Her father was a Frankish chieftain and one-term Roman consul (385) namedBauto. The marriage (27 April 395) of Arcadius to Eudoxia was arrangedby Arcadius' corrupt minister, the eunuch Eutropius, who had supportedthe match in order to undercut the position of a political rival. ButEudoxia came to resent being dominated by Eutropius, and in 399 shehelped to bring about his downfall. The period of Eudoxia's mostdecisive influence over her ineffectual husband dates from herdesignation as augusta on 9 Jan 400.

Although an earnest Christian, she quarreled bitterly with JohnChrysostom, partriarch of Constantinople, who attacked her and thefrivolity of her court in outspoken terms. In 404 she expelled him fromhis see and sent him into exile. Shortly afterward Eudoxia died from amiscarriage. But she had borne Arcadius four daughters and a son, whobecame the emperor Theodosius II (reigned 408-450). One of thedaughters, Pulcheria, was regent for Theodosius II for several years.
