May 408 CE

Arcadius, after a weak thirteen-year reign, dies in his palace on May 1, 408; his seven-year-old son of Arcadius, made coemperor in 402, ascends the throne as Theodosius II, who rules under the domination of his devout Christian sister Pulcheria.

Due to Theodosius' young age, the Praetorian prefect, Anthemius, acts as regent.

Yazdegerd becomes an executor of Arcadius' will and is entrusted with the care of the young Theodosius II until he comes of age.
