died 453. King of the Huns, called the Scourge of God. He welded the disorganized Scythian warriors into a compact body that became the terror of Europe and Asia. Emboldened by the success of an invasion of the Roman Empire, he swept through Austria, Germany, and Gaul with unheard-of ferocity. Allied Romans and Visigoths defeated him at Chalone, 451, and averted the peril which menaced Western civilization. Attila went to Italy and laid Lombardy waste, 452. Approaching Rome, he was met by Pope Leo I near Mantua, and was dissuaded from sacking the city. He died shortly after.
