Magnus Maximus
I was born to a poor Spanish family, in the province of Callaecia in north western Spain. After a military career, I came to serve under Theodosius the Elder in Britain in AD 369, and in Africa from AD 373 to 375.
My efforts were rewarded by being granted overall military command in Britain, where I successfully campaigned against the Picts and Scots. But the army was very disillusioned and dissatisfied with its emperor Gratian. In particular jealousies toward privileges awarded to barbarian units fighting for the empire ignited much ill-feeling with him.
Finally, in AD 383 it all boiled over and the garrison in Britain revolted and proclaimed me as the new Augustus of the west.At once i crossed the Channel with my troops taking Gratian by complete surprise. As Gratian marched his troops west to meet the me at Lutetia in battle. his troops simply deserted him and changed allegiance to me. If u ask me thats kinda sad. Gratian fled, but was caught up with by my 'Master of Horse' Andragathius who assassinated him.
I was a orthodox Catholic who, like Theodosius in the east, vehemently pursued and punished heretics and pagans. In AD 387 I elevated my infant son Flavius Victor to be co-Augustus.Then, in the summer of AD 387, I invaded Italy in a successful attempt to oust Valentinian II. The young emperor Valentinian II fled with his mother to Theodosius in Constantinople. But my attempt on increasing his realm of influence backfired. Theodosius was no longer tied up in trouble in the east anymore and stood ready to launch an attack on the usurper.
In AD 388, while i stayed behind in Aquileia, Andragathius led his army against Theodosius, only to be defeated at Siscia.Thereafter his brother Marcellinus led the re-grouped army back into battle, but he too was defeated at Poetovio.
I was captured and pleaded for the victor to show mercy. Though Theodosius showed none and had me executed in AD 388. my son, Flavius Victor, was captured by Arbogast, Theodosius 'Master of Soldiers', and was also put to death.
