Biography: Constantius II was the eldest son of Constantine the Great. In his early life he helped his father in military campaigns against the Samartians. After his father's death Constantius was made partial ruler of the empire with his two brothers. He ruled over Gaul, Britannia, and Hispania. As his younger brother, Constans, grew older Constantine refused to relinquish his guardianship over Constans, thus leading to battle between them where Constantine was killed.
