Gestorben 453 - Attila, Thorismund, Aelia Pulcheria, Maurilius Von Angers, Ingy? (English, German, Paperback)

The origin and language of the Huns has been the subject of debate for centuries. One scholar suggests a relationship to Yeniseian. The leading current theory is that their leaders at least may have spoken a Turkic language, perhaps closest to the modern Chuvash language. The death of Rugila (also known as Rua or Ruga) in 434 left the sons of his brother Mundzuk (Hungarian:, Turkish: ), Attila and Bleda (Buda), in control of the united Hun tribes.
