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. | ||
