Eutropius was first removed from office and exiled, later recalled, and then executed after a broader sequence of court and military struggles. Eudoxia's role was significant, but the final outcome was not hers alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEudoxia's most famous conflict involved \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Chrysostom\u003c\/strong\u003e, bishop of Constantinople. Chrysostom's criticism of luxury and court behavior became increasingly associated with the empress, and the confrontation contributed to the political and ecclesiastical struggles that ended in his exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEudoxia died in \u003cstrong\u003eAD 404\u003c\/strong\u003e, probably from complications connected with childbirth.
