    ======================================================
    Keizer van het Oost-Romeinse rijk (1 mei 408-28 juli 450). Hij was lange tijd keizer en regeerde tijdens de regeringen van Honorius, Constantius III en Valentianus III in het West-Romeinse rijk; hij zette Valentinianus III op de troon en die huwde zijn dochter.
    Born in 401, he was made co-emperor in 402 and from 408 till 450 was Eastern Roman Emperor. Gentle,
    scholarly and easily dominated, he and allowed his government to be run by relatives and ministers. Throughout his reign, control of the government remained out of Theodusius' hands. At first the able Anthemius, praetorian prefect of the East, was regent until, in 414, Theodosius's sister, Pulcheria, received the title of 'Augusta' and assumed the regency. In 413, on orders of Anthemius, an impregnable wall was erected around the city of Constantinople. In 425 Theodosius was involved with the founding of the University of Constantinople. During his reign armies were sent against the Vandals, the Persians and the Huns. In 422 and 447 Persian invaders were defeated but action against the Vandals, who occupied most of Roman Africa, ended in failure. However, the policy of appeasing Attila did not prevent the massive Hun invasions of the Danubian provinces in 441-443 and 447. In 428 Theodosius appointed, as patriarch of Constantinople, Nestorius whose heretical doctrines caused a dispute.In 431, by a church council, Nestorius was deposed. The Theodosian Code, which he supervised and was published in 438, was a codification of the laws issued after 312. On 28 July 450 Emperor Theodosius died from injuries suffered during a hunting accident.
    Regeerde van 408 tot 450, volgde als zevenjarig kind zijn vader Arcadius, als keizer van het ost
    Romeinse vrijk op onder voogdij van Anthemius. Toen deze in 414 gestorven was werd Pulcheria, de
    vrome zuster van Theodosius, tot Augusta verheven, die ook nadat de keizer volwassen geworden was
    in feite de heerschappij bleef voeren. In 421 huwde Theodosius Anthenais, als chriten Eudokia
    genoemd, die Pulcheria van haar invloed beroofde. Hun dochter Eudoxia werd uitgehuwlijkt aan
    keizer Valantianus IIIvan het West Romeinse Rijk. De Codex Theodosianus, het eerste officiele
    keizerlijk wetboek, dat in 438 het licht zag, werd naar hem genoemd. Hij stichtte verder in
    Constantinopel een universiteit.
