Valentinian II, 375-392
- made co-emperor at his father's death, for years was under the influence and orders of others - after the defeat of Magnus Maximus, the real power in the West was the German Master of Soldiers, Arbogast - Valentinian tried to dismiss him and claim the power for his own, Arbogast refused to read the letter that fired him, and Valentinian was soon after found dead in his palace (it was believed that Arbogast had him killed)
