| Description |
Crispus was the son of Constantine the great by
his first wife, Minervina. He was appointed
Caesar by his father in 317. Jealous of his
growing popularity and fearful for the succession
of her own three sons, Constantine’s second
wife, Fausta, fabricated evidence of treason
against her step-son. Crispus was imprisoned
and later executed. When Constantine learned
the truth about his wife's plot, he condemned her
to death and she was thrown into a bath of
boiling water.
