The Huns as they came from the east had been known only as barbaric savages lacking all the civilized attributes, which could be seen in the writting of the contemporary such as Ammianus Marcellinus. They had a simple administrative system in which the people were led by several regional leaders, who were chosen based on their military skills and these leaders hold power mostly during the warfare. As the time went by, the society of the Huns began to change, as is the case with every society. Not only the society, but also the image of the Hunnic people from other peoples perspectives. And this change was aided by the rise of new leader, name Attila. Attila the Hun was not just a mere hunnic military leader. After few years of his ascension into the throne, he established himself as the one chosen by the divine power. Receiving absolute loyalty from his people, he led the Hunnic people to a completely new level. Attila the Hun is considered as one of the greatest king of the Hun, and this is for a reason. I hope you will enjoy the history of the Huns under the leadership of Attila, the greatest king of the Huns.
