    "Theodosius II ruled the eastern half of the Roman Empire from 408 to 450. His reign saw the start of the Christological controversy and he convened both the Council of Ephesus of 431 and the so-called 'robber synod' of 449. Joh. Eph., EH 5.14, remembers him as the last purple-born prince (his father was the emperor Arcadius) before the birth of Maurice's son Theodosius in 583."5
