When the Western Roman court appealed to Attila for peace, the Hun leader accomplished the feat of intimidating the Romans, for the Eastern Roman Empire had paid a huge amount of tribute each year under his blows. When Attila withdrew, no one may have expected that this mighty king would soon die.
In 452 AD, Attila invaded the Italian region, where few people could resist. After confirming his inability to fight against the Huns, the western court chose to ask Attila for peace, and for Attila, he made many demands on the western court at this time, and for the Western Rome, all that could be done was to accept.
After the Western Roman court fulfilled his request, Attila led his barbarian army to retreat to the royal residence in Central Europe. While retreating, he also made a final threat to the western court that it would hand over Princess Honeria to him, or he would invade Italy again.
For Attila, although this conquest has won a huge victory, there are still some regrets for him personally. After all, after threatening the surrender of Eastern Rome and Western Rome, he could stand on the walls of The City of Rome and preach his great martial arts to the world.
In addition, the number of attilas attacks on Western Rome was very limited compared to the Eastern Romans. Therefore, we have every reason to believe that the Huns' retreat was only temporary, and that Attila would eventually be like his conquest of Eastern Rome, until the last gold coin was scavenge from the Western court.
However, for Attila, he never had the opportunity to deal with the Western Empire as he did against the Eastern Romans. When the Huns retreated, the following year Attila was killed in his own court.
The reason for his death is also related to women. However, this woman was not the princess of the west he had always wanted, but a young girl from Germania: Editico. After all, it was understandable for the mighty Hun king to have a huge harem.
For the Western Roman princess, her presence was nothing more than an excuse for Attila to attack the Western Empire. Ever since the princess claimed to marry herself to the Hun king, Attila had been asking the western court for the princess's "dowry" – half of the territory of the Western Roman Empire!
To this end, the Western Empire was invaded twice, but after the victory of the second post-attack on Italy, the Western Court paid a huge price in exchange for the withdrawal of the Huns.
At this time, for Attila, the Western Roman princess became a dispensable person, although she still handed the princess to herself to threaten the western court, but with the arrival of Edico, the importance of the Roman princess in his heart diminished.
However, to Attila's surprise, this wedding also became the end of his life. When he finished the wedding feast and went to enjoy the newlywed Yan'er, he never saw the sun the next day. When the attendants went to wake up the king the next day, they found that the great chief had passed away.
After that, the Huns held funerals for their own king, along with attila's burial, and the glory of the Huns. Since then, the Hun kingdom has been torn apart and never again strong enough. After losing the great enemy, the Western Roman Empire did not survive for a long time, and soon came to an end.
