– Attila was Khan of the Huns from 434 until his death in 453. He was leader of the Hunnic Empire which stretched from Germany to the Ural River and from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea. In much of Western Europe, he is remembered as the epitome of cruelty and rapacity. An unsuccessful campaign in Persia was followed in 441 by an invasion of the Eastern Roman Empire, the success of which emboldened Attila to invade the West. He passed unhindered through Austria and Germany, across the Rhine into Gaul, plundering and devastating all in his path with a ferocity unparalleled in the records of barbarian invasions and compelling those he overcame to augment his mighty army. Attila drowned in his own blood on his wedding night.
“Crimes”? Attila the Hun was not under any government, therefore could not have committed any crimes beyond those of the customs of his tribe. People today try to hold people of other times, places, societies and such to the standards of 20th century’s civilization(s). This cannot be done. One of YOUR great, great, great, great grandfathers was wed to a 12 or 13 year old girl! That doesn’t make him a pedophile. This was what they DID at that time. Your great, great, great grandfather married his first cousin…. maybe even a niece! This wasn’t incest at that time. People today seem to have NO idea about any society other than the current one! THIS is why mistakes keep happening in the world.
