“The grass never grew on the spot where his horse had trod.” Such was the legendary wrath of Attila the Hun. He’s one of history’s most famous villains, synonymous with cruelty and devastation.

What do we actually know about the great king besides his terrifying raids and campaigns? What actual traces do we have of the man, and was he really as savage as history and legend tell us?
