  Flavius Augustus Honorius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honorius was declared Augustus in 393 by his father and became western emperor at the age of 10, following his father's death in January 395.
At first Honorius based his capital in Milan, but when the Visigoths entered Italy in 402 he moved his capital to the coastal city of Ravenna, which was protected by a ring of marshes and strong fortifications.
Honorius' supposed weakness and timidity in the face of internal dissention and the attacks of the Visigoths and Vandals is often said to have contributed to the rapid disintegration of the western half of the empire.

Flavius Augustus Honorius (September 9, 384 - August 15, 423) was a emperor of the West (395 - 423).
Honorius was fond of raising chickens, and there is a story that when he heard the news that Rome had "perished", he was initially quite upset, but was relieved when he learned that the Rome in question was the city, not the chicken he had named after it.
His reign of twenty-eight years was one of the most disastrous in the Roman annals; the weakness and timidity of the emperor combined with the attacks of the Visigoths and Vandals contributed to the rapid disintegration of the empire.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Guilty Only of Failure To Teach
Honorius, without further investigation, accepted Sergius's presentation at face value, seeing the dispute as "an idle question" to be left to the "grammarians who sell formulae of their own invention" (Scripta fraternitatis vestrae, quoted by Fernand Hayward in A History of the Popes, 90).
Honorius did indeed resist the heresy insofar as he urged "silence" with regard to the expression "one operation," which he rightly considered Eutychian.
Honorius is condemned because of what the council "found written by him to Sergius;" in which letters Honorius "followed his [Sergius's] view" about keeping silent and thus "confirmed his [Sergius's] impious doctrines" (Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, 343).

 Honorius
Honorius was born to Theodosius and Aelia Flaccilla in 384 and inherited the western part of the empire on his father's death (with the eastern half going to his elder brother Arcadius).

Pope Leo II (682-683), who confirmed the council, was in agreement with the condemnation of Honorius on the grounds of "neglect" and therefore did not count his predecessor among the "inventors" of the heresy.

Larson: Pope Honorius I: The case of Pope Honorius is of importance to this discussion because he is the only Pope in the almost 2,000 year history of the Church who, it is falsely claimed, was legitimately condemned by the Church itself.
