Justa Grata Honoria (born c. 418 – died c. 455) was the daughter of Constantius III and Galla Placidia, as well as the sister of Valentinian III. In her life she had seen her family grasp and keep power, however she herself was given little power despite having the title of Augusta. This title meant that she could rule as regent in the case that Galla Placidia was not able to, however it also meant that she must take a vow of virginity and inability to marry. She found herself in many scandals, in which the punishments led her to send a letter to Attila the Hun asking for him to invade on her behalf, which is often interpreted as a proposal.
