Edward Hutton recounts how the Huns burst into the late Roman world and how Attila bullied the Eastern Empire, received an imperial embassy at his wooden court, and then turned west across the Rhine to Orleans. The story runs through the battle of the Catalaunian Plains to the invasion of Italy and Attila’s death.
