Galla Placidia bears the second of two …
Years: 419 - 419
Galla Placidia bears the second of two children by Constantius in 419, the first being her daughter Justa Grata Honoria (417) and the second Placidus Valentinian (the future emperor Valentinian III).
In this year, Placidia and her husband become involved in the controversy over the election of a new bishop of Rome.
She personally summons the African bishops to a synod in Italy (three of the letters she wrote in the matter survive).
The support of Constantius and Placidia notwithstanding, Eulalius loses the backing of Honorius for violating an agreement that both claimants leave Rome pending a council's decision.
Boniface's reentry into Rome ends the fifteen-week schism.
