326 In 326, Crispus' life came to a sudden end. On his father's orders, he was tried by a local court at Pola, Istria, in the Augustan regio of Venetia et Histria, condemned to death and executed.
Crispus, his wife Helena and their son also suffered damnatio memoriae, meaning their names were never mentioned again and deleted from all official documents and monuments. The eventual fate of Helena and her son is a mystery.
Philostorgius writes that Fausta fell in love with Crispus, but her love went unrequited. She said that Crispus had tried to seduce her, causing Constantine to execute Crispus.
