Attila the Hun

He may have been a cruel king of the Huns, but books on Attila the Hun's leadership and victory secrets are best-sellers!
Attila the Hun lived from 406 to 453 AD -- that's only 47 years; not a long time. He gained his fame as the final and most powerful king of the Huns. He reigned over what was then Europe's largest empire from the age of 28 until his unexpected death. Attila the Hun surprisingly died of a nasal hemorrhage suffered while celebrating his marriage to Ildico. Some would say a bit of karma perhaps.
Though his empire died with him and he left no remarkable legacy, 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. Contrary to that thinking, some historians actually rather celebrate him as a great and noble king. Attila the Hun plays a primary role in several Norse sagas.

Everything Hungarian
Hello people and welcome to the directory of Everything Hungarian! Oh my! We hope you enjoyed reading about Attila the Hun that legendary figure in the history of Europe. I remember learning about Attila as a child in that we celebrated our Hungarian heritage. I was naturally intrigued by anything and everything Hungarian. Gosh, there was Hungarian Stuffed Cabbage and Goulash which became food favorites of mine thanks to the influence of my Eastern European grandma Julia Nagy.Today, I am a very proud Hungarian who writes a lot about Hungarian topics. It's actually pretty cool to be of Hungarian heritage. Hungarians can and are sexy too. Thanks for dropping by and I hope you will take time to check out the various Hungarian topics I've presented.

- As far as western Europe goes Atila had the misfortune of not being from western Europe when he rolled through smacking them around so it isn't so surprising his memory has been, "embellished," over there.

- Attila must have had great charisma and leadership skills to drive his people to move and conquer like they did. It's amazing how things just fell apart afterwards, but I do believe they had a major impact on European history, bringing Asian influence to Europe, much of which was lost over the following centuries. It's odd how Marco Polo is credited with discovering China, when peoples from China had discovered Europe close to 1,000 years before. Amazing lens, great images, blessed.

- Gosh! I didn't know you'd make such a page! Well, Attila the Hun isn't my favourite historical famous person, however, I love his name and to be honest, when I was pregnant, I hesitated between a few names for my baby and one of them was Attila!
Great lens and, of course, blessed by an angel on Squidoo.
