Encyclopedic overview

Aelia Eudoxia (/ˈiːliə juˈdɒkʃə -ˈdɒksiə/; Ancient Greek: Αἰλία Εὐδοξία; died 6 October 404) was an Eastern Roman empress by marriage to the Roman emperor Arcadius. The marriage was arranged by Eutropius, one of the eunuch court officials, who was attempting to expand his influence. As Empress, she came into conflict with John Chrysostom, the Patriarch of Constantinople, who denounced imperial and clerical excess. She had five children, four of whom survived to adulthood, including her only son, the future emperor Theodosius II, but she had two additional pregnancies that ended in either miscarriages or stillbirths and she died as a result of the latter one.
