Histoire d'Attila et de ses successeurs (1/2) / jusqu'à l'établissement des Hongrois en Europe

The author reconstructs the life and career of Attila from contemporary fragments and later chronicle, balancing eyewitness reports with Gothic, Latin and Germanic traditions; he first presents a portrait of the ruler and his campaigns, then traces how his empire fragmented after his death while Hunnic populations remained in eastern Europe. The narrative follows the political fate of his successors and settlements along the Danube, and closes with a comparative study of legends and epic cycles across Latin, Teutonic and Magyar traditions that transformed the historical conqueror into varied mythic figures.
