built 387 days ago
Attila (406–453)... known as Attila the Hun or the Scourge of God was Khan of the Hun people from 434 until his death. He was leader of the Hunnic Empire which stretched from the Netherlands to the Ural River and from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea.
Attila the Hun rides into battle upon his horse Clearly, the actions and values of Attila the Hun, the 5th Century AD barbarian that brought death and destruction upon the crumbling Roman Empire, point to him being a savage and demonic leader. The havoc that he wreaked throughout Europe led to him being self-dubbed[1] “The Scourge of God”. This pseudonym Attila was known by is symbolic of his manner of conquests, ruthless barbarity. Although Attila displayed savage acts of violence and cruelty in his campaigns, a sense of forgiveness, justice and inspiration is illustrated off the battleground. His centralisation of Hunnic authority and unification of the Hunnic tribes is unmatched by any of his predecessors. On the contrary, all sense of justice and respect is lost in Attila during battle and during the post-battle pillaging and looting commissioned by Attila; a further demonstration of his savage andbarbaric qualities.

Attila, the king of the Huns, had established himself a powerful empire, east of the Rhine. His empire was steadily approaching the Rhine, where there were several powerful, but smaller kingdoms in what is now France.
