Attila the Hun from ¨Top 10 Royals Who Would Have Been Terrible on Facebook¨

Attia the Hun was one of the world's most feared conquerors, leading his tribe of Eurasian nomadic warriors into the heart of 5th century Europe, plundering and massacring everywhere he went. A desperate coalition of Roman troops and German barbarian tribes eventually turned back Attila's advance at Chalons, in modern-day France, in 451. Two years later, Attila would die at his own wedding banquet — a consequence of either a lifetime of excessive drinking or secret poisons administered by his latest bride.

Favorite Quotation
• "Attila, the leader of the Huns, who was called the scourge of God, came into Italy, inflamed with fury, after he had laid waste with most savage frenzy Thrace and Illyricum, Macedonia and Moesia, Achaia and Greece, Pannonia and Germany. He was utterly cruel in inflicting torture, greedy in plundering, insolent in abuse."— Some loser Christian priest
