Gerontius ( general ) Gerontius ( died 411 ) was a general of the Western Roman Empire , who initially supported the usurper Constantine III but later opposed him in favour of another usurper , Maximus of Hispania . Life . Usurpation of Constantine III . Gerontius , probably a Briton by birth , was one of the supporters of Constantine III , a Roman general who revolted against the Western Roman Emperor Honorius in 407 , conquering Britain , Gaul , Germania and Hispania . In 408 he followed the son of Constantine , the newly appointed caesar Constans II , to Spain . This province was under Constantine ' s rule , but here some members of the House of Theodosius , the cousins of Honorius Didymus and Verenianus , had rebelled . Gerontius , who was the actual commander - in - chief of the troops , fought the rebels in two battles . In the first he was defeated , but in the second he won an important victory in Lusitania , where he had recalled some troops from Gaul , and captured the rebel chiefs . While Constantine returned to Gaul with the prisoners , Gerontius remained in Spain , in command of the local troops . Usurpation of Maximus . In late spring 409 , Gerontius rebelled against Constantine III , appointing as emperor Maximus , one of his relatives . He moved to Tarraco , but left the city in order to oppose Constans ' invasion . Constantine had just appointed Constans Augustus and sent him to Hispania with loyal troops to suppress Gerontius ' rebellion . The reasons for Gerontius ' rebellion are unclear . It is possible that Constans ' elevation to the throne was a result of Gerontius ' rebellion , but it is also possible that the general rebelled just because of Constans ' appointment . In order to counteract Constantine , Gerontius allied with the Franks who had occupied Gaul in 407 . The Frankish revolt occupied Constantine , who was forced to reduce his pressure on Gerontius , and the Franks and their allies entered Hispania , where they became a problem for Gerontius . He spent the year 410 defending himself against Constans , in 411 Gerontius succeeded in besieging the young Augustus in Vienne , defeating , capturing and killing him . He then moved on Arelate , where he besieged Constantine . Before Constantine surrendered , however , Honorius ' general Constantius arrived from Italy with an army . Being at the same time besiegers and besieged , the greater part of Gerontius ' soldiers deserted him and went over to Constantius , who was obliged to flee back to Spain with a few loyal supporters . When the Spanish troops knew of Gerontius ' defeat , they decided to get rid of him . According to Sozomen , the Spanish troops blocked Gerontius and his collaborators in a house . Gerontius kept the aggressors away shooting them with arrows from the roof of the house , but when his arrows ran out , the soldiers set fire to the house . Even if he could have escaped , Gerontius refused to do so in order to die with his wife . He first killed his wife and his loyal Alan collaborator and then killed himself .
