                    Byzantine Emperor who called together the Council of Chalcedon.
                    
                        After the death of Theodosius II in 450, the influential generals Aspar and Ardabur brought Marcian, a member of their retinue, to the throne. In order to legitimise the new emperor, a marriage with Theodosius' sister Pulcheria was organised. Marcian convoked the Council of Chalcedon in 451 and ruled until his death in early 457.
