Ruler of the Huns from 434 to 453, Attila commanded an empire that tore through Roman territories on both sides of the continent. Constantinople held, but the Balkans, Gaul, and northern Italy felt the raids, and Rome itself came within reach before he died at forty-seven.

About this person

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.
