	Stilicho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The emperor recognized that Stilicho could be a valuable ally, and to form a blood tie with him, Theodosius married his adopted niece Serena to Stilicho.
		Stilicho distinguished himself at the Frigidus, and Theodosius, exhausted by the campaign, saw him as a man worthy of responsibility for the future safety of the Empire.
		Stilicho may have schemed to obtain the province of Dalmatia for the West, even though the troops he used to achieve the victory were from the east.

	stilicho - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Stilicho was tasked with defending the West against attacks from the Visigoths, a role he endured for some twenty years.
		Although it was within his ability to contest the charges, Stilicho did not resist, either because of guilt or for fear of the consequences to the already-precarious state of the Western Empire.
		Besides the relevant legal records in the Codex Theodosianus, the major primary source for the events of Stilicho's reign are the panegyrics addressed to him by the poet Claudian.

	Alaric I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stilicho also claimed to be the guardian of Arcadius, causing much rivalry between the western and eastern courts.
		In 397 Stilicho crossed by sea to Greece and succeeded in shutting up the Goths in the mountains of Pholoe on the borders of Elis and Arcadia in the peninsula.
		The estrangement between the eastern and western courts had in 407 become so bitter as to threaten civil war, and Stilicho was actually proposing to use the forces of Alaric in order to enforce the claims of Honorius to the prefecture of Illyricum.

	2. The Visigoths. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		Stilicho, son of a Vandal father and a Roman mother and married to Theodosius' sister, was guardian of Theodosius' sons, Arcadius and Honorius.
		Stilicho, his popularity undermined by these events and by the hostility of Constantinople, was beheaded (408).
		Stilicho was the archetypal barbarian army general exercising power in the name of a weak emperor.

	The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire XXX
		Stilicho assembled the senate in the palace of the Caesars; represented, in a studied oration, the actual state of affairs; proposed the demands of the Gothic king; and submitted to their consideration the choice of peace or war.
		Stilicho escaped with difficulty from the sword of the Goth, and after issuing a last and generous admonition to the cities of Italy to shut their gates against the barbarians, his confidence or his despair urged him to throw himself into Ravenna, which was already in the absolute possession of his enemies.
		Stilicho supported with calm resignation the injurious names of traitor and parricide; repressed the unseasonable zeal of his followers, who were ready to attempt an ineffectual rescue; and, with a firmness not unworthy of the last of the Roman generals, submitted his neck to the sword of Heraclian.

	Rutilius Claudius Namatianus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stilicho, fearing to suffer all that had caused himself to be feared, annihilated those defences of Alps and Apennines which the provident gods had interposed between the barbarians and the Eternal City, and planted the cruel Goths, his skinclad minions, in the very sanctuary of the empire.
		It is noteworthy that Rutilius speaks of the crime of Stilicho in terms far different from those used by Orosius and the historians of the lower empire.
		This crime of Stilicho alone is sufficient in the eyes of Rutilius to account for the disasters that afterwards befell the city, just as Merobaudes, a generation or two later, traced the miseries of his own day to the overthrow of the ancient rites of Vesta.

	Stilicho, Flavius. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Stilicho did not resist, although it was in his power to do so.
		Rumor accused him of planning the assassination of Rufinus, of plotting to make his son emperor, of making secret agreements with Alaric, and of inviting (406) the barbarians into Gaul; but evidence to support the charges is lacking.
		Stilicho is highly regarded in the verse of the poet Claudian.

	The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire XXIX
		The impartiality which Stilicho affected, as the common guardian of the royal brothers, engaged him to regulate the equal division of the arms, the jewels, and the magnificent wardrobe and furniture of the deceased emperor.
		Stilicho who appears to have directed his march along the seacoast of the Hadriatic, was not far distant from the city of Thessalonica when he received a peremptory message to recall the troops of the East, and to declare that his nearer approach would be considered, by the Byzantine court, as an act of hostility.
		Stilicho left the command of the troops of the East to Gainas, the Goth, on whose fidelity he firmly relied, with an assurance at least that the hardy barbarian would never be diverted from his purpose by any consideration of fear or remorse.

	Honorius
		Stilicho was half Vandal, half Roman, and married to the emperor's cousin Serena.
		Clearly this assassination was the work of Stilicho and it did irreparable damage to the relationship between the eastern and the western empire.
		Stilicho of course suspected the doings of Eutropius in this, though he did not follow the manyfold advice of starting an open war with the east.

	Rome - Vol III, Chapter XXIX, Part 2
		Stilicho, who appears to have directed his march along the sea-coast of the Adriatic, was not far distant from the city of Thessalonica, when he received a peremptory message, to recall the troops of the East, and to declare, that his nearer approach would be considered, by the Byzantine court, as an act of hostility.
		The soldiers were easily persuaded to punish the enemy of Stilicho and of Rome; and such was the general hatred which Rufinus had excited, that the fatal secret, communicated to thousands, was faithfully preserved during the long march from Thessalonica to the gates of Constantinople.
		The vigilant Stilicho already prepared to collect the naval and military force of the Western empire; and he had resolved, if the tyrant should be able to wage an equal and doubtful war, to march against him in person.

	Flavius Stilicho biography
		Thus Stilicho found himself on a footing with his hated rival Rufinus for he became the real ruler of the West, with headquarters at Rome, as the young Honorius was wholly indifferent to the cares of state.
		While Theodosius lived, Stilicho and Rufinus were forced to maintain a semblance of peace, but when he died, in 395, their rivalry broke out openly.
		Stilicho had a stronger personality and a close connection with the Imperial family, for his daughter Maria was betrothed to his ward, the Emperor Honorius.

	Arcadius
		This all appeared to be a plan of Stilicho's to take over the prefecture of Illyricum (roughly consisting of the diocese of Moesiae as defined by Diocletian), which by Theodosius had been defined as part of the eastern empire.
		It appears obvious that this was a plot of Stilicho's and it did irreparable damage to the relationship between the eastern and the western empire.
		Stilicho was not prepared to accept this, though he did not follow the manyfold advice of starting an open war with the east.

	FLAVIUS STILICHO - LoveToKnow Article on FLAVIUS STILICHO
		Rivalry had already existed between Stilicho and Rufinus, the praetorian praefect of the East, who had exercised considerable influence over the emperor and who now was invested with the guardianship of Arcadius.
		It is certain, however, that he was suspected by Honorius and abandoned by his own troops, and that he fled to Ravenna, and, having been induced by false promises to quit the church in which he had taken sanctuary, was assassinated on the 23rd of August 408.
		The principal sotirces for the life of Stilicho are the histories of Zosimus and of Orosius and the flattering verses of Claudian.

		Stilicho, as we saw, married the sister of Theodosius, and Bauto was the father of the lady Eudoxia, who became the wife of Arcadius.
		Events proved that the legions at Stilicho's disposal were quite inadequate to the defence of the west, and therefore it was not unnatural that he should have aimed at bringing the western lands of the Balkan peninsula back under the rule of the western government.
		Stilicho took the precaution of bringing with him some western legions of his own, as well as the eastern troops whom he was to restore to Constantinople.

	Station Information - Stilicho
		Stilicho was tasked with defending the Western Empire against attacks from the Visigoths, a role he endured for some twenty years.
		To cement a blood tie with him, Theodosius married his daughter, Serena to Stilicho, and appointed him guardian over his son, Honorius.

		Before his death Theodosius appointed Stilicho to be the guardian of his son Honorius in the West and Rufinus to be the guardian of his son Arcadius in the East.
		Stilicho had a great military advantage over his rival, for the army Theodosius had assembled to crush the usurper Eugenius was still concentrated in the West under Stilicho's command when Theodosius died.
		In 398 Stilicho's daughter Maria was married to the emperor Honorius, and Stilicho himself became consul in 400.

		Stilicho now sought alliance with Alaric with a plan to move jointly to control that vast connecting region between the eastern and western empires.
		Stilicho had managed to offend both the pagans in Rome (by a perceived lack of respect for their ancient temples) as well as vituperative Christian Trinitarians.

	The Battle of Pollentia, AD 402 (DBA Battle Scenario)
		Stilicho appeared before the Emperor, urging him to remain within the fortifications of Milan, while he recruited an army beyond the Alps.
		Stilicho then crossed the Alps in the dead of winter, quieting the Alemanni in Rhaetia and regrouping the Imperial troops, as well as enlisting the aid of King Saul of the Alans.
		Stilicho had repositioned a Roman legion from his reserve line to bolster the Alans and prevent the Visigoths from falling on his now exposed flank.

	Alaric Trashes Rome -- 410 AD
		Stilicho might have finally defeated Alaric if not for the stupidity of the Emperor and then the sudden and uncharacteristic bravado of the Senate, who, instead of sending General Stilicho to the front, conspired in his execution.
		Stilicho, also, in the meanwhile, and in accordance with the will of Theodosius, became the guardian, protector, and top general of Honorius, a twelve-year-old son of Theodosius, whom Theodosius had set up as puppet emperor in the West.
		Stilicho soldiered on, keeping the Visigoths at bay, repulsing the northern wing of the Vandals, who crossed the frozen Rhine River in 407, containing a revolt in England led by Constantine III.

		It was Stilicho who first insisted that the Goblins were intelligent, and he was the first to negotiate face to face with the enemy.
		It appears that it was here that Stilicho first came to respect his adversary and to understand truly the seriousness of the threat to the Free Folk.
		The generals who succeeded Stilicho were all contemptuous of the Goblins and were ill-prepared to deal with him.

		When Honorius was menaced by Alaric in Milan early in 402, Stilicho hastened to his assistance from Rhætia with legions summoned for that purpose from Britain and Germany; he rescued the emperor from his precarious situation and repulsed the Goths with great loss at Pollentia (4 April, 402) and Verona (403).
