Attila the Hun (405–453), also sometimes known by the nickname Scourge of God (Flagellum Dei), was the most powerful king of the Huns, and was the leader of the European Huns.
He reigned over what was then Europe's largest empire from 434 until his death. His empire stretched from the Netherlands to the Ural river and from the Danube River to Estonia (see map below). During his rule he was one the most fearsome of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires' enemies: he invaded the Balkans twice, besieging Constantinople on the second invasion; he marched through Gaul (modern day France) as far as Orleans before being defeated at the Battle of Chalons; and he drove the western emperor Valentinian III from his capital at Ravenna in 452.
Though his empire died with him, he has become a legendary figure in the history of Europe. In much of Western Europe, he is remembered as the epitome of cruelty and rapacity. In contrast, some histories lionize him as a great and noble king, and he plays major roles in three Norse sagas.

Attila was a great tactician and general/leader, but he was also brutal
