Aelia Pulcheria was the sister of the Eastern Roman emperor Theodosius II. Theodosius was a weak ruler who did not take much of an active part in the government of the empire, but his sister Pulcheria was quite a gifted administrator. She was the one who held the actual ruling power during the long reign of Theodosius II.

Galla Placidia was the daughter of an emperor, half-sister of two emperors, the wife of another emperor and the mother of yet another emperor. She was married first to a king of the Visigoths who carried her away as a captive, just another item of stolen plunder from the sack of Rome. She fell deeply in love with her barbarian king and only condescended to marry her second husband, a Roman emperor whom she merely tolerated after her one and only true love had died.

Justa Grata Honoria, Roman Brat Princess

Was Justa Grata Honoria responsible for the fall of the Western Roman Empire? I highly doubt it but this claim is made by Mark S. Longo in an article titled Scheming princess behind Empire's fall. Clearly, the princess was not well behaved in trying to have her brother the Emperor killed. She also committed treason by offering to marry Attila the Hun and give half the empire to him as a wedding present. However, the Western Roman Empire was already well on its way to collapse long before Honoria was born. And Attila would have invaded anyway
