Attila the Hun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Attila, or Attila the Hun (406-453), was a leader of the Huns from 434 until he died in 453. He led the Hunnic Empire, and was known as a feared military commander. He invaded Gaul, and nearly captured the city of Aurelianum, but lost the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, which was the only time he lost a battle.[1] He also invaded Italy and attacked and looted several towns.
Attila died in 453. The traditional account of his death is that it happened the night after his marriage to a woman named Ildiko. The Huns declined in the years immediately after Attila's death.
