Aelia Eudoxia was the Empress consort of the East-Roman Emperor Arcadius.
Empress Eudoxia had no desire to remain as politically anonymous as was expected of an empress. Instead, she thoroughly dominated not only Arcadius, but also played an active political and religious role.
She died at 21 due to complications following a miscarriage.
