🚩 Battle of Nedao was a day when Rome breathed a sigh of relief. Attila’s defeat against Aetius in 451 and the limited success of the invasion of Italy in 452, as well as Emperor Marcian’s raids into Hunnic lands, had bruised Attila’s reputation as an invincible warlord. He may have already faced a political crisis after killing his brother Bleda and refusing to pick a new co-ruler, a crisis that culminated with his death in 453 AD with a widespread revolt against Hunnic rule by various Germanic leaders.
Attila’s son Ellac inherited his father’s realm and was poised to preserve the Hunnic Empire. To do this he would have to defeat his father’s lieutenants, Ardaric and Valamir…

  2. Many historians in the world, like me, believe that the Romans won the battle on the “Catalan Fields”, and their victory is indicated by such obvious facts as:

    1) The failed siege of the city of Orleans by the Huns, which is why they were unable to plunder it and attack another city, Toulouse.

    2) The losses of the Huns in the battle were greater, which is why they retreated from Gaul, thanks to which Aetius got the spoils from the battlefield. Which became a symbol of his victory over Attila.

    3) The Roman vassal Merovey became the king of the Franks, and not his older brother, who was a vassal of the Huns!
