In 445, their huge empire was ruled solely by Attila. Organizing the conquered tribes as allies Attila crossed the Danube and besieged Constaniople. Then he turned westward and attacked Gaul where he was temporarily defeated by a combined Roman-Visigothic force. Not showing any real signs of defeat, he instead turned eastward and destroyed Milan. As he was preparing to attack Constaniople again, Attila suddenly died of a nosebleed.
