Prince Theodosius, Duke of Beroea (Flavius Claudius Nero Theodosius Gregorius Constantinus; b. 2 September 1966) commonly known as Prince Theodosius, is the second son and third child of Diana Augusta and Leo, Prince Consort. At the time of his birth, Theodosius was second in line to the Latin throne; as of 2017 he is currently eighth. His nephew, Constantine XX is the current Monarch of Latium.

Prince Theodosius has been a member of the Latin Navy since he enrolled at Imperial Naval College at Hierapolis, graduating in 1988. He was commissioned as a Decurion upon his service in the Latin Navy. By the end of his active service in 2007, he held the rank of Laticlavius. Since 2007 he has served as Lord High Admiral.

In 1994, Theodosius married Princess Marie-Antoinette of Vannois, youngest daughter of Emperor Charles XII of Vannois. Together they have two children: Teresa and Theophylactus. The couple maintains estates in Vannois and in Latium, most notably Villa de Iuliabona in the city of Oea.

Early Life and education

Theodosius was born on 2 September 1966 at Palace of Augustus in Castellum ab Alba, Latium, as the third child and second son of Latin Empress Diana Augusta and Leo, Prince Consort. He was baptized on 16 September 1966 at Sancta Sapientia by Archbishop Thomas Appuleius. His godparents are George Anicius, 2nd Duke of Ossonoba (his mother's cousin); then Isidorus Claudius, Count of Durolipons (his father's brother); Theodora Claudia (his father's cousin); and Alexandra Anicia (his mother's cousin).

Like his older siblings, Theodosius attended formal schooling at Saint Michael's for his primary and secondary schooling. After secondary school, he joined the Latin Navy and enrolled at Imperial Naval College at Hierapolis. While at Hierapolis, Theodosius participated in an exchange program where he spent a year at Ghantish Imperial Naval Academy. He graduated from Imperial Naval College and was commissioned as a Decurion in the Latin Navy.

Military Career

Theodosius enlisted in the Latin Navy as a cadet in 1983 when he enrolled at Imperial Naval College at Hierapolis, unlike his brother, father, and grandfather who all attended Olympia Military Academy. Theodosius became one of the first members of the Claudii dynasty and the Latin Imperial Family to join the navy in nearly 150 years. While at Hierapolis, Theodosius underwent officer training and focused his studies on history. In 1985, he became a midshipman and served on the IMS Anicia Invictii frigate. After completing his schooling and officer training in 1986, Theodosius was commissioned as a Decurion. By 1993, he served as a Centurion Second Grade in the Perlicean Fleet.

Lord High Admiral

Personal Life

Theodosius has closely guarded his private life, and is widely known to shy away from the public spotlight. Unlike his siblings, Theodosius had no known relationships before his marriage. Theodosius was first betrothed to his future wife Princess Marie-Antoinette of Vannois in August 1991. Theodosius and Antoinette were eventually married in June 1994 at Basilica of Saint Maria outside the Walls in Castellum ab Alba. Together they have two children: Teresa and Theophylactus.

As the child of a Sovereign, Theodosius is entitled to the rank of "prince" throughout his life, as are any of his children. Due to his birth occurring during his mother's reign, Theodosius is entitled to bear the additional title Porphyrogenitus. Prior to his marriage he was a "prince" with the territorial designation "of Latium". Following his marriage, this territorial designation was dropped and Theodosius was granted the Imperial peerage of the Dukedom of Beroea. Theodosius's creation as Duke of Beroea is the 4th creation, and 3rd in 150 years. It was last held by Theodosius's great-grandfather, John Anicius, 3rd Duke of Beroea. Theodosius's full style and titles are:

His Imperial Highness Prince Theodosius, Duke of Beroea, Count of Ratiara, and Lord of Coriallum, Born in the Purple

Ancestry

Theodosius is a member of the Claudii dynasty, making him a direct male-line descendant of St. Philip Augustus, the first Catholic Latin Emperor. He is the second son of Diana Augusta, herself the eldest surviving child of Constantine XIX and Marie Christine of Épernon; and of her husband Leo X Augustus, the eldest son of Jason Claudius, 36th Duke of Adrianople and Marie-Perenelle of Escondeaux.

Theodosius's mother is a member of the Anicii dynasty by way of Theophylactus I Augustus, allowing Theodosius to trace ancestry to all former Imperial Latin dynasties. Jason held numerous ties to other major Belisarian noble and royal houses though various ancestors. Theodosius was the second-cousin of former Vannoisian Emperor Charles XII, and third cousins once removed of Emperor Philippe X of Lyncanestria.
