Pope St. Leo I - The Great.

Pope from September 29, 440 to his death November 10, 461.

In 452, when the King of the Huns, Attila, invaded Italy and threatened Rome, Emperor Valentinian III sent Pope Leo and two high government officials to negotiate with Attila and convince him not to attack and plunder Rome. They were successful. Attila was so impressed by Leo that he withdrew. Unfortunately Leo's intercession could not prevent the sack of the city by the Vandals in 455, but murder and arson were repressed by his influence.
