Index of SuffixesAppendix : Genealogy of attila 's ClanAbbreviationsIntroductionIn about 370, a nomadic people called the Huns invaded EasternEurope. Coming from the East, and having subjugated the Ostrogothicrealm of Hermanarich, they established a nomadic empire which soonstretched to the Roman Danubian limes. The Hunnic empire reached itsapex under the leadership of attila (444-453).

10 In 451, however, Attilawas defeated in the "Catalaunian fields" in Gaul by the united forcesof the Romans and the Visigoths. His sudden death two years laterwas followed by an internal power struggle among his sons duringwhich the empire's subjugated peoples mainly the Germanic Gepidae,HUNNIC LANGUAGE OF THE attila CLAN 429 Ostrogoths, and Heruli revolted successfully. A great battle fought in455 on the still unidentified Pannonian river Nadao put an end to theHunnic empire's unity and some time later, as we learn from Jordanes, groups of Hunsreturned to their "inner" territory on the river V r (= Dnieper) in theUkraine.
