Living at Valeiitinian's court in Itonic, she secretly in- vited .ltila the llun to marry her; but as he did not entertain the i)rop()sili(jn. she sent another invitation, and Attila, accepting it, claimed with her a portion of the Empire.

He was born of a consular family in Campania. Of his early historj' little is known, except that he took an active part in bringing to a close the dis- putes which arose in Northern Italy about the controversy of the three eliapters. (See VlGlL- irs. ) As Pope his name is connected with the historj' of the paschal controversy in Ireland, and with that of the early . glo-Saxon Church, and his pontificate is particularly memorable on account of the Monothelite heresy. (See IMoNOTiiELlTlSM.) Honorius, misled, it is al- leged, by a statement of Sergius, Patriarch of Constantinople, expressed himself in language which would appear to condemn the doctrine of two wills of Christ. In a decree of the sixtli general council (Constantinople. (i80-81 ) Hono- rius is anathematized in company with many others, of whose heterodoxy there can lie no doubt. Catholic theologians, however, defend his orthodoxy, or at least point out that his case is not one of those in which infallibility is claimed by the Vatican decree. It was because Diillinger (q.v.) believed that the heresy of Honorius was irrefutably established that he could not conscientiously accept the dogma of Papal infallibility. l)ecause it was retroactive and implied that there never had been a pope who was heretical. This assertion in regard to Honorius was an important factor in the Old Catholic movement. He died in G38. Consult: Diillinger.

He crowned Frederick II. as Kmperor. tried in vain to in- stitute a crusade, and confirmed the orders of the Dominicans and Franciscans. To him we owe the famous Liher Cenauum Romanes Ecelesiw, in which the income of the Church of his day is detailed. It was reprinted by Paul Fahre. I.ihrr Censuum (Paris, 1890. et seq.).

Consult his life by Pawlicki (Miin-ter. 1896). HONORIUS, Flavus (a.d. 384-423). Roman Emperor of the West from 395 to 423, second son <jf Theodosius the (Ireat. He was born in 384. On the death of his father, ..d. 395, the Emjiire wa.s divided into two parts, Honorius reieiving the western half, with Koine as his capital, wliile liis brother .Xrcadius received the eastern half, with Constantinople as his capital. Honoriu*, being ,>nly ten years old, was put un<hT the guardianship of Stilicho (q.v.), who was all his life the de facto ruler of the Western Empire. Honorius first took up his residence at Milan, and later for the most part held his Court at Ravenna. In 398 he luarric'il Maria, the daugh- ter of Stilicho. In 401 .Marie, King <jf the Visi- goths, invaded Italy. Stilicho, who was then in (iermanv, marched against him. and a great battle was fought at Pollenlia in 403 (or 402), followed by another encounter at Verona. Alaric, nnalde to withstand Stilieho, withdrew from Italy. Another irruption of barbarians, under Radagaisus, took place in 405, which was again repelled <)y Stilicho, who, nevertheless, lost tlie favor of his master, and was treacherously slain at Ravenna, a.d. 408. Alaric was not slow to tak^ advantage of the o]>portunity afTorded him. In the same year he invaded Italy, and besieged Rome, which escajM^'il only on the iiayment of a heavy ransom; and in the following year he again besieged and took it, raising Attains to the Im- perial purple, but a little later deposing him. In 410 the Visigothic King again appeared before Rome and handed it over to be pillaged by his troops. The death of the invader in the same year again frred Italy. A new champion of the falling Empire arose in tlie person of Constantius, who suppressed the reVjcllions of Constantino, .lovinus. and Sallustius in the northern prov- inces, and of Ileraclian in Africa. He was now appointed the colleague of Honorius in the con- sulship, and received in marriage the hand of Placidia, sister of Honorius. along with a share in the Empire, which he did not long enjoy, as his death took place a few months after. The Gothic and German tribes had for some time been slowly but steadily encroaching upon the Western Empire, and Honorius's reign saw Spain, Gaul, and I'annonia. some of the finest provinces. snat< lieil from its grasp. He died August 27, 423. HONORS. Mii.iTARV. See Salutes. HONORS OF WAR. Stipulated privileges allowed a capitulating enemy: formerly a chiv- alrous appreciation of his valor, but in later times dictated almost entirely by the politic or economic phase of the question.
