Galla Placidia, ruler of the Western empire …
Years: 451 - 451
Galla Placidia, ruler of the Western empire in the name of her weak son Valentinian III, had died at sixty on November 27, 450, clearing the way for Aetius to dominate the imperial government.
In response to the impending Hunnic invasion, Aetius musters in Gaul an army of Burgundians, Celts, Ripuarian and Salian Franks, and Visigoths under the command of the Visigoth king Theodoric I. Eudocia, daughter of emperor Valentinian III, marries Huneric in Ravenna.
The engagement serves to strengthen the alliance between the Western Roman Empire and the Vandal Kingdom.
