{{Quote|In the fifth century, one man brought terror and destruction to millions across Europe. Attila the Hun and his bloodthirsty barbarians tortured, raped and murdered all who stood in their way. According to legend, they dipped their arrows in the juice of boiled embryos, drank women's blood, and were descended from unclean spirits.Attila's ruthlessness knew no bounds: He slaughtered deserters and murdered his own brother. His savage Huns struck fear into the mighty Roman empire with their brutality; They razed great cities to the ground and massacred whole populations in pursuit of gold. Christians believed he'd been sent from Hell to punish sinners, Attila became known as 'The scourge of God'.|Introduction to a documentary about Attila}}'''Attila the Hun''' (406 – March of 453) was the fifth century leader of a nomadic barbarian people known as the Huns and ruler of what was known as the Hunnic Empire from the year 434 until his death in 453.
