Ricimer has waited for three months after the death of Majorian before placing on the imperial throne a person he believes he can manipulate.
He finally chooses Libius Severus, a senator of no political distinction, probably selected to please the Italian senatorial aristocracy.
The new emperor is not recognized by the Eastern Emperor Leo I, nor by any of the generals who had served under Majorian; not by his old comrade-in-arms Aegidius in Gaul, not by Marcellinus in Sicily and Illyria, and not by Nepotianus in Hispania.
