The body of Theodosius is borne in…

The body of Theodosius is borne in state to Constantinople and interred in the mausoleum erected by Constantius II.

It soon becomes apparent that Theodosius had not chosen his advisers with sufficient care and that the men who are guiding the sickly Arcadius are unwilling to cooperate with Stilicho, who remains loyal to the dynasty.

The Eastern leaders soon reject Stilicho's tutelage.

An antibarbarian reaction has developed in Constantinople, which impedes the objectives of the half-Vandal Stilicho.

Rufinus seeks to strengthen his political position by marrying his only daughter to Arcadius, but the corrupt chamberlain, the eunuch Eutropius, prevents the marriage.

Instead, the youthful emperor is married on April 27, 395, to Aelia Eudocia, the sister of the late Arbogast and daughter of the late Flavius Bauto, the Romanized Frankish general who had served as magister militum of the Western Roman Empire.
