He speaks of her with great affection as "a good wife and the best of sisters, " but she also sprang from a noble and high- spirited house, and by his marriage Sidonius was drawn into the vortex of the disturbed history of his time. Avitus was a brave, capable, and honest man. While prefect of Gaul he had been brought into personal relations with Theodoric I. , King of Toulouse, who became his fast friend. Avitus used his influence over the barbarian chief for good ends, and it was by his persu...asion that Theodoric was induced to send his Gothic troops to the help of Aetius in the great battle of Chalons, in which Attila, the Scourge of God, was defeated and forced to retire from Gaul. This was the sunset SIDONIUS APOLLINARIS 59 triumph of old Rome, but Avitus and his relatives were almost the only Romans who fought in her cause on that great day. There followed in quick succession the murder of Aetius by Valentinian, the murder of Valentinian himself by Maximus, whose wife he had dishonoured, the frightful sack of Rome by Genseric, who is said to have been invited by the Empress Eudoxia, as Attila is said to have been summoned by Honoria, and as Genseric and his Vandals had been led into Africa by the wretched traitor Boniface.
