	Attila the Hun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Attila and Bleda threatened further war, claiming that the Romans had failed to fulfil their treaty obligations and that the bishop of Margus (not far from modern Belgrade) had crossed the Danube to ransack and desecrate the royal Hun graves on the Danube's north bank.
		Attila, not convinced, sent an embassy to Ravenna to proclaim that Honoria was innocent, that the proposal had been legitimate, and that he would come to claim what was rightfully his.
		Attila is known in Western history and tradition as the grim "Scourge of God", and his name has become a byword for cruelty and barbarism.

		The moral power of these bishops, more particularly of the pope during the dissolution of the empire, is evidenced as well by the confidence in which the faithful looked to them for succour against the terrible invader as by the influence they sometimes exerted in staying that invader's destroying hand.
		Most European countries have their legends of the Hunnish leader, who is diversely depicted, according as the vanity of nations would represent Attila as a friend who had contributed to their greatness or as a foe to whose superhuman strength it had been no discredit to succumb.

		However, Attila's ambitions and audacity were not diluted by the experience, only redirected.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Attila's Treasure
		As the author states, the events told in Attila's Treasure overlap with what occurs during chapters 3 to 7 in the second of three books in his previous novel, Rhinegold.
		Attila's Treasure relates the events of Hagan (another hero, friend of Sigifrith and later his enemy) from the time that he is sent to be foster son (read "hostage") to Attila the Hun, to some time after he is called back to his home and family on the Rhine.
		Nevertheless, it is with all due credit to the writing style and ability of Grundy that I considered it worthwhile to immediately pick up his first novel and devour it unflinchingly to the end, until all my questions were satisfactorily answered.
