  1. Reigned for 20 years Attila the Hun

  2. Things Attila used in his reign

  3. Facts about Attila • Reign 434 A.D–453 A.D Born 406 Birthplace Place unknown Died 453 (aged 47) • In 433 Attila took control over the Huns • 451 Attila he was defeated at chalons • 452 Attila decides not to attack Rome • And finally in 453 Attila dies

  4. Facts about Attila • He might have had a say in his brothers death putting him at the ruler of the empire • Huns rule from the Rhine across the north of the Black Sea as far as the Caspian Sea. • Rome paid Attila money to not attack Rome • Attila formed an alliance with the Vandals and the Franks

  5. More facts about attila • Attila the Hun and his warriors rose from the plains of Scythia, modern-day southern Russia and Kazakhstan, and spread terror across Europe. • The citizens of the weakened Roman Empire gazed in fear and disdain upon these uncouth barbarians with tattooed faces and top-knotted hair. The Christianized Romans could not understand how God could allow these pagans to destroy their once-mighty empire;

  6. More facts • At the time of Attila's birth, c. 406, the Huns were a loosely organized coalition of nomadic herder clans, each with a separate king. • In the late 420s, Attila's uncle Rua seized power over all of the Huns and killed the other kings. • This political change resulted from the Huns' increasing reliance on tribute and mercenary payments from the Romans, and their decreased dependence on pastoralism. • Rua's Huns fought for pay for Rome. He also got 350 lbs of gold in annual tribute from the Eastern Roman Empire based in Constantinople. • In a gold-based economy, people did not need to follow the herds; power could be centralized.

  7. About his death • Attila's death in 453 wasn't quite what one would have expected from such a fierce barbarian warrior. He died not on the battlefield, but on the night of his marriage. On that night Attila, who, despite common misconceptions, was not a heavy drinker, drank heavily in celebration of his new bride. In his wedding chambers at the end of the event, Attila passed out flat on his back. It was then and there that Attila had a massive nosebleed which caused him to choke on his own blood.

  9. It was a tradition to wrap a towel around the Childs head to deform it
