Boethius was close to King Theodoric, an [[Ostrogoths|Ostrogoth ]] who ruled the Italian peninsula in the early 6th Century. He was accused of disloyalty to the King, imprisoned and executed. While in prison, Boethius wrote his best known work: [[The Consolation of Philosophy]]. Throughout his life he translated much of [[Aristotle]]’s work into [[Latin]].
