ウァレンティニアヌス2世
Around 375, Emperor Valentinian I appointed Merobaudes "magister peditum". After Valentinian I's death in that same year, Merobaudes stated that he could control the army only if Valentinian's son, Valentinian II, was to be appointed Emperor. Valentinian II ruled together with his brother Gratian, and Merobaudes influenced both of them.
