Stilicho's death and the persecutions of barbarian foederati led to a troop shortage and inability to combat Alaric. Alaric offered multiple times to surrender if his people would be allowed to go free of discrimination by the Romans, but Honorius repeatedly denied. Olympias and other close advisors repeatedly filled Honorius head with lies, and Honorius himself was never a great leader. Even when Rome finally surrendered and was sacked, and Honorius was told that Roma had perished, he freaked out, thinking it was a chicken named Roma.
