 Battle of Chalons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The historian Jordanes states that Attila was enticed by Gaiseric, king of the Vandals, to wage war on the Visigoths, while at the same time Gaiseric attempted to sow strife between the Visigoths and the Western Roman Empire (Getica 36.184-6)
However, other contemporary writers offer other motivations: a few years before Honoria, a troublesome sister of the emperor Valentinian III had sent a message to the Hunnic king; she had been married off to a loyal senator, Herculanus, to keep her in a repectable confinement, and asked for Attila's help in escaping this marriage.

After this (while some of his earlier publications marked the gradual advance of his labours), Hodgkin carried out the task that he had set himself, and which covered the entire period from the partition of the Roman empire between Valens and Valentinian to the death of Charles the Great.
His personal preferences, nevertheless, inclined to the medieval type of historical writing, and he was at least a chronicler, something after the manner of Barante, rather than a critical historian, and loved to reproduce at length the flow of the sources of which his learning had enabled him to appreciate the value.
Hodgkin, besides publishing some shorter pieces, contributed to The Political History of England a well-written volume on the period before the Norman conquest and composed an interesting monograph on the founder of the religious body to which he belonged and with whose spirit of humankindness he was signally imbued.

Hodgkin found the root cause of victory in Viet Nam’s three thousand years of history, through which a national conscience was forged that could resist all foreign invasions.

 Samuel George Morton Papers, American Philosophical Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Antebellum America's foremost craniologist, Samuel George Morton cast a long shadow over the history of physical anthropology and "race science." The son of Jane Cummings and the Philadelphia merchant, George Morton, Samuel was left fatherless at an early age, and was taken to Westchester County, N.Y., to be raised.
In 1815, however, Morton's education was interrupted when he was apprenticed to a merchant in the city, although his step-father and a family acquaintance, John Gummere, encouraged him to continue his studies on his own.
Beginning prior to 1834, Morton began to take a deep interest in the quintessentially American enterprise of racial science, and his groundbreaking work in craniology and craniometry proved to be the most enduring of his scientific contributions.

At Thomas Hodgkin's memorial service, in 1982, Christopher Hill, formerly Master of Balliol, used the pulpit of the college chapel to give an address entirely free of religious reference, quite a feat in view of Hodgkin's Quaker roots and Hill's status as historian of the Puritan revolution.
The part of the address I remember best was Hill's description of Hodgkin - like Hill a sophisticated Marxist - returning to Balliol in the 1960s and becoming the much-loved friend of even the most conservative fellows.

 Battle of Chalons Details, Meaning Battle of Chalons Article and Explanation Guide
The Battle of Chalons, also called the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields or the Battle of the Catalun, occurred on September 20, 451 between the Roman general Aetius, assisted by the Visigoths under their king Theodorid and other foederati on one side, and the Huns led by their king Attila with their allies.
The actual location of this battle is not known with certainty: Thomas Hodgkin, in Italy and Her Invaders (1892), located the site near Mery-sur-Seine, but current consensus places the battlefield at Châlons-en-Champagne.
Jordanes states that Attila was enticed by Gaiseric, king of the Vandals, to wage war on the Visigoths, while Gaiseric simultaneously encouraged disharmony between the Visigoths and the Western Roman Empire.
