About The Life And Times Of The Empress Pulcheria A. D. 399

Ada Bessie Teetgen ( 1879-1957) was born and raised in England; a published author in her home country, she moved to Canada in 1909. Aelia Pulcheria (399 – 453) was the second child of Eastern Roman Emperor Arcadius and Empress Aelia Eudoxia. When her father died in 408, Theodosius II was made Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, at seven years of age. On July 4, 414 a fifteen-year-old Pulcheria proclaimed herself regent over him, then thirteen years of age, and made herself Augusta and Empress of the Eastern Roman Empire. Pulcheria's time as Augusta also was marked by war and ongoing conflict with Sassanid Persia.CONTENTSI. ARCADIUS AND EUDOXIA, A.
