Hungarian Warriors (Huns)

Attacking a village in southern Germany, the villagers defending their women. Ca. 10th century.

Attila ( 453) was "king" (rex) of the warrior federation of the Huns from 434 (as co-ruler together with his brother Bleda) or 444/45 (as sole ruler) until his death. The centre of his sphere of power was the area of present-day Hungary, where the Huns established a short-lived empire in the 5th century, which experienced the greatest development of power under Attila, but collapsed again shortly after his death.
The Hungarian invasions of the 10th century:
Encounter under the Carolingians around 890
Invasions in the East Frankish Empire around 900
Invasions under King Conrad I around 912
Response of King Henry I around 920
Suppression by Emperor Otto I around 935.
