Justa Grata Honoria crowned Augusta by the hand of God.

Si Justa Grata Honoria, na karaniwang tinatawag noong habang nabubuhay pa bilang Honoria,[1] ay ang nakatatandang kapatid na babae ng Kanluraning Romanong Emperador na si Valentinian III — na naging tanyag dahil sa kaniyang pagsusumamo ng pag-ibig at pagtulong kay Attila na Hun na humantong sa pagpapahayag ng huli ng pagmamahal para kay Honoria, at ng karapatan na pamunuan ang Imperyong Romano. Pinatutunayan ng mga barya na nabigyan si Honoria ng pamagat na Augusta na nangyari pagkaraan ng pagtataas ng ranggo ng kaniyang kapatid na lalaki noong 426.[2]

Mag-anak

Si Honoria ay ang nag-iisang anak na babae ng sumunod na naging emperador na si Constantius III at ni Galla Placidia. Ang una niya dalawang mga pangalan ay hinango mula sa kaniyang mga tiyahin na may kaugnayan sa kaniyang ina, na sina Justa at Grata, na mga anak na babae ni Valentinian I at Justina, at ang pangatlong pangalan niya ay hinango mula sa emperador na namuno noong panahon ng kaniyang kapanganakan, na kaniyang amain (o "tiyuhing kalahati") na si Honorius.[3] Nagkaroon siya ng isang mas nakatatandang kapatid sa ina dahil sa unang pagkakakasal ni Placidia kay haring Ataulf ng mga Visigoth na si Theodosius, na ipinanganak noong 414 subalit namatay nang maaga noong sumunod na taon.[4][5] Ang kaniyang mas nakababatang kapatid na lalaking si Valentinian III, ay ang kaniyang kapatid na buo.[6]

Biography

The historical record of most of her life is little more than brief mentions of or allusions to her presence. Oost notes that she accompanied her mother and younger brother as they set sail for Constantinople in Spring of 423, and that Honoria was with them when they joined the expeditionary force at Thessalonia in the Summer of 424 that would restore Galla Placidia and Valentinian to power in the West.[7] She was included in mosaics of the Imperial family, now lost, at Santa Croce in Gerusalemme and in a church dedicated to Saint John the Evangelist in Ravenna.[8] Last is Carmen I of Merobaudes written circa 443, although a fragmentary poem it clearly includes her in a description of the family of Vanetinian III.[9] These details have led Stewart Oost to observe that Honoria came to feel "that life had condemned her to a dull backwater."[10]

Honoria gained a reputation with older historians of being ambitious. She regarded her brother as weak and indolent, based on the events of a brief period in her life. 104</ref> According to the Chronicle of Marcellinus Comes, Honoria was sent to a convent in Constantinople; J. B. Bury has argued that her relegation to Constantinople never happened, pointing out that Marcellinus matched the indiction of the event to the wrong pair of consuls, putting this event 15 years too early.[11]

Whether one agrees with Bury or not, it is certain that her brother decided to marry Honoria to a Roman senator named Bassus Herculanus who was considered "safe" and unlikely to use this connection to seize the throne. Faced with this unwanted marriage, Honoria sought the aid of Attila the Hun. She sent the Hunnish king a plea for help – and her ring – in the spring of 450. Though Honoria may not have intended a proposal of marriage, Bury points out Attila chose to interpret her message as such.[12] He accepted, asking for half of the western Empire as dowry. When Valentinian discovered the plan, again only the influence of his mother Galla Placidia convinced him to exile, rather than kill, Honoria. He also wrote to Attila strenuously denying the legitimacy of the supposed marriage proposal.[13]

For years Attila had been planning to invade Rome and Honoria's letter gave him the excuse to make his move. Attila sent an emissary to Ravenna in 451 to proclaim that Honoria was innocent, that the proposal had been legitimate, and that he would come to claim what was rightfully his. Attila made a similar demand in 452, but it was not until more years passed that he made the promised invasion into Gaul, which ended in the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains.

Nothing of her life after her intrigue with Attila is recorded. One assumes that she was married to Herculanus, but in concluding his account of this incident John of Antioch writes, "And so Honoria was freed from her danger at this time."[14] Pointing at the last three words of this sentence, Bury asks, "Does this imply that she incurred some punishment afterwards, worse even than a dull marriage?"[15] Lastly, because her name does not appear in the list of important persons carried off to Carthage by the Vandals following their sack of the city, the capture of her sister in law and her nieces and the murder of her brother in 455, Oost suggests she was dead by then; whether she died of natural causes or by order of her brother the Emperor, Oost admits "we do not have evidence adequate" to decide.[16]
