Attila was king of the Huns from 434-453 A.D.. He was a very savage man. He was feared by the Christians to them he became known as the “Scourge of God” meaning the instrument of Gods wrath. They called him this due to his brutal and horrifying figure and because he had no mercy. The Huns settled in a country now known as Hungary. In 445 Attila claimed a campaign against the Roman Empire. In 447 he overran the Balkan Islands. Attila later came very close to overthrowing the Roman Capital Constantinople. He died in 453 but no one really knows how he died his year of death was examined due to carbon dating.

He is most remembered for his savage behavior. He is also remembered for killing his brother to become leader of the Huns. He is also remembered for how he fought the Roman Empire and almost taking over their capital Constantinople. Another thing he is remembered for is for the expansion of the Hun Empire he led to create one of the biggest expanding empires. He is remembered for his savagery and his unattractive, even brutal, appearance.

His title for his biography would be Attila the Scourge of God because this is what the Christians called him because of his horrifying figure and because of the devastation he wrought throughout the Roman empire.

His theme song would be Bodies by Drowning Pool. This would be his song because he was a killer and the song is about “bodies hitting the floor” and also cause it’s a dark song and he was a dark person.

His “Senior Superlative” would be “most likely to be brought up on charges” Even though he was illiterate and didn’t go to school, if he did he in today’s society he would break many laws with his lifestyle.
