Valentinian III, 23 October 425 - 16 March 455 A.D.

|, Valentinian III was the weak-willed ruler of the West for thirty-three years during which the Western Empire was dismembered; by his death virtually all of North Africa, all of western Spain, and the majority of Gaul were lost. Dominated by his sister Galla Placidia and then General Aetius, he exercised little power. He is described as spoiled, pleasure-loving, and heavily influenced by sorcerers and astrologers. The notable event of his reign was Aetius' defeat of Attila the Hun. He was assassinated in 455 A.D.
