An account of Attila the Hun’s reign of terror across Europe in the fifth century. This ruthless king of a nomadic Asiatic race murdered his brother before embarking on a campaign of slaughter and pillage through 100 cities which took him to the gates of Constantinople, Troyes in Gaul and even Rome itself, threatening the civilised world of the Roman Empire and plunging huge swathes of the continent once more into the barbarity of the Dark Ages.
