People connected to Orestes
The man who put his teenage son on the throne of Rome — and watched the whole empire collapse within a year.
About
Orestes came from Pannonia and rose through the court of Attila the Hun, earning enough trust to become one of the warlord's inner circle. After Attila's death he shifted his allegiance to the crumbling Western Roman Empire, where he leveraged his military power and political cunning to install his son Romulus Augustulus as emperor. The boy ruled in name only. On 28 August 476, Orestes was killed, and weeks later his son was deposed — the last formal end of the Roman Empire in the West.
