Justina (empress)
Justina (; c. 340 – c. 388) was a Roman empress. She was initially the wife of the rebel emperor Magnentius () and was then married to Valentinian I (), with whom she had four children, including the emperor Valentinian II () and the empress Galla (). Possibly a relative of the Constantinian dynasty (), she was Valentinian's second wife after Marina Severa, and step-mother of the ''augustus'' Gratian () and the mother-in-law of the ''augustus'' Theodosius I (). Her infant son Valentinian was made emperor shortly after her husband's death in November 375. According to Late Antique ecclesiastical history, Justina was an Arian Christian, and began to promote this christology after her husband died, bringing her into conflict with Ambrose, the Nicene Christian bishop of Mediolanum (Milan). In 387, fleeing from the invasion of the Italian Peninsula by the emperor Magnus Maximus (), Justina took her children to the Balkans – including the child-emperor Valentinian II – and sec ...

Justina Szilágyi
Justina Szilágyi de Horogszeg ( hu, horogszegi Szilágyi Jusztina; before 1455 – 1497) was a Hungarian noblewoman, who became the second wife of Vlad Dracula, Voivode of Wallachia. She was the daughter of Ladislaus or Osvát Szilágyi and thus a cousin of Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary. Corvinus first gave her in marriage to Wenceslas Pongrác of Szentmiklós. Pongrác had inherited estates in Upper Hungary (present-day Slovakia), but was forced to renounce them in exchange for landed property he and Justina jointly received in Transylvania following their marriage. After Pongrác died in 1474, the widowed Justina married Vlad, whom Corvinus acknowledged as the lawful voivode of Wallachia in 1475. Vlad seized Wallachia in late 1476, but soon died in battle. To strengthen her claim to her Transylvanian estates, she married Paul Suki, who was related to the former owners of those territories. After the death of Suki, in 1479, Justina was married to John Erdélyi of Somkerék, u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyprian And Justina
Saints Cyprian and Justina are honored in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodoxy as Christians of Antioch, who in 304, during the Diocletianic Persecution, suffered martyrdom at Nicomedia (modern-day İzmit, Turkey) on September 26. According to Roman Catholic sources, no Bishop of Antioch bore the name of Cyprian. Origin The story must have arisen as early as the 4th century, as it is mentioned by both St. Gregory Nazianzen and Prudentius; both, nevertheless, have conflated Cyprian with St. Cyprian of Carthage, a mistake often repeated. The attempt has been made to find in Cyprian a mystical prototype of the Faustian legend. The legend is given in Greek and Latin in ''Acta SS.'' September, VII. Ancient Syriac and Ethiopic versions of it have been published.Gabriel Meier (1908). " Sts. Cyprian and Justina". In ''Catholic Encyclopedia''. 4. New York: Robert Appleton Company.
