Attila the Hun Portraits

By , About.com Guide

Attila was the fierce 5th century leader of the barbarian group known as the Huns who struck fear in the hearts of the Romans as he plundered everything in his path, invaded the Eastern Empire and then crossed the Rhine into Gaul. For this reason, Attila was known as the Scourge of god (flagellum dei). He is also known as Etzel in the Nibelungenlied and as Atli in Icelandic sagas.
