		Constantine passed over from Britain to Bononia, a maritime city of Gaul; and after inducing all the troops in Gaul and Aquitania to espouse his cause, he reduced to obedience l the inhabitants of the regions extending to themountains which divide Italy from Gaul, and which the Romans have named the Cottian Alps.
		This precaution was probably afterwards the cause of the ruin of the country; for when Constantine was deprived of his power, the barbarous races of the Vandals, Suevi, and Alani took confidence and conquered the road, and took possession of many forts and cities in Spain and Gaul, and arrested the officers of the tyrant.
		When Constantine heard of the death of Edovicus he cast aside his purple robe and imperial ornaments, and repaired to the church, where he caused himself to be ordained as presbyter.

	Status of Constantine XI as Saint
		It is also, of course, true that Saint Constantine is received by the Church by acclamation, as it were, rather than by a formal canonization process.
		By the time that Greece gained independence, the veneration of Saint Constantine XI had been so long established in practice that a formal glorification would have been superfluous (just as would be, say, a move to hold a formal canonization of Saint Patrick of Ireland).
		Moreover, Saint Constantine XI died in full communion with Rome, having received the Holy Eucharist at the hands of Cardinal Isidore of Kiev only a few hours before the martyrdom.
