Attila was the king of the Scythian hordes known as the Huns from A.D. 433 to 453. For devastating much of Europe, Attila the Hun is also known by the Romans as the Scourge of God.
Attila the Hun was King and General of the Hun empire. Succeeding his Uncle, King Roas, in 433, Attila shared his throne with his brother Bleda. He inherited the Scythian hordes which were disorganized and weakened by internal strife. His first order of affairs was to unite his subjects for the purpose of creating one of the most formidable and feared armies Asia had ever seen.
