<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3631281, member: 93702&quot;]Well I guess we could call Valentinian&#039;s death fairly hilarious (if you have a dark sense of humor..<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>Quick cut &amp; paste from Wikipedia:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Without waiting for the spring Valentinian decided to continue campaigning and moved from Savaria to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szony" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szony" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #000000">Brigetio</span></a>. Once he arrived on 17 November, he received a deputation from the Quadi. In return for supplying fresh recruits to the Roman army, the Quadi were to be allowed to leave in peace. However, before the envoys left they were granted an audience with Valentinian. The envoys insisted that the conflict was caused by the building of Roman forts in their lands; furthermore individual bands of Quadi were not necessarily bound to the rule of the chiefs who had made treaties with the Romans – and thus might attack the Romans at any time. <b>The attitude of the envoys so enraged Valentinian that he suffered a burst blood vessel in the skull while angrily yelling at them, provoking his death on November 17, 375.</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]973964[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Next</b>: A valiant death[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
