Attila, often referred to as Attila the Hun, was a prominent leader of the Huns during the 5th century. He is best known for his campaigns against the Roman Empire, where he became a significant threat to both the Western and Eastern Roman Empires. Attila's invasions and raids led to widespread devastation in Roman territories, and he was often called the "Scourge of God" due to his ferocity. His reign ended with his death in 453 AD, which contributed to the eventual decline of the Hunnic Empire.
