Person
Aspar
Flavius Ardabur Aspar was an Eastern Roman general of Alan descent who dominated the court at Constantinople for much of the mid-fifth century. Consul in 434 and long a senior commander, he helped place the emperors Marcian in 450 and Leo I in 457 on the throne, but as an Arian Christian of barbarian origin could not rule himself. Leo I had him and his son Ardabur murdered in 471.
