# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Attila and his elder brother Bleda inherited the Hunnic throne from their uncle Rugila in 435, ruling together until Bleda's death a decade later left Attila sole commander of an empire spanning Huns, Ostrogoths, Alans, and Gepids across Central and Eastern Europe. In 441 he invaded the Eastern Roman Empire, then turned west: he crossed the Rhine in 451, pushed as far as Orléans, and was stopped at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains. The following year he swept into Italy, devastated the north, but never took Rome. He died in 453 while planning another campaign. His close adviser Ardaric led a Germanic revolt almost immediately after, the empire shattered, and Attila passed into legend.
