==Death==
==Death==
Attila returned home, threatening to attack again as soon as he could. Fortunately for his enemies, though, he died in 453 A.D., on the night of his marriage to a new wife, a Germanian princess named Ildico; it is generally accepted that Attila choked to death on his own blood brought upon by a nosebleed as the result of heavy drinking, though some suggest that he may have been murdered by Ildico. He was buried in a grand coffin, and the men who buried him were killed to keep the location of the grave a secret. After Attila’s death, the empire was attacked by Ardaric who led a Germanic revolt against the Huns. The Hunnic Empire quickly collapsed and the fearsome reign of Attila the Hun was officially over. To this day, Attila is ranked as one of the evilest men in history.

== Trivia ==
* Attila is ranked by many historians as one of the most evil men to have ever existed. Indeed, before [[Adolf Hitler]], Attila was who came to mind for many in regards to who was most the most evil man in history.
* Despite being one of the most evil men in history, he is portrayed as a hero/anti-hero in the ''Night at the Museum'' trilogy. 
* There are no surviving first-hand accounts in regards to Attila's appearance, and the Huns left no records of their history. The closest to a description is an account from Pirscus relayed by Jordanes.
