In 445, Attila (also spelled Attilla) became the sole leader of the Huns after murdering his brother. The Romans called Attila the "Scourge of God." When Attila conquered a city, he often ordered that the severed heads of his victims placed on poles outside the city as a warning. He forced Rome to pay tribute, or payment for protection.

Attila byname FLAGELLUM DEI (LATIN: SCOURGE OF GOD), king of the Huns from 434 to 453 (ruling jointly with his elder brother Bleda until 445). He was one of the greatest of the barbarian rulers who assailed the Roman Empire, invading the southern Balkan provinces and Greece and then Gaul and Italy. In legend he appears under the name Etzel in the Nibelungenlied and under the name Atli in Icelandic sagas.
