His grandfather (Sidonius Apollinaris) had been the most respected scholar and cleric of his time and his father (Apollinaris) was proud warrior who perished in battle between the Visigoths and Franks. Arcadius rose to become governor of Clermont (in southern France) and upon hearing a rumor that his liege the Frankish King Theuderic I had suddenly died, switched his allegiances to Childebert I (another Frankish king) and in doing so betrayed the city of Clermont for Theuderic was not dead.
