Attila was the ruler of the Hun kingdom, in what is now called Hungary. The Huns began to expand beyond this area, conquering surrounding contries until they controlled a region from the Rhine to the Caspian Sea, extending all the way to the Baltic. The Huns were among the fiercest of the many barbarian tribes who eventually destroyed the power of the Roman Empire. Attila, who is still renowned for his cruelty and the ferocity of his troops, led the Huns from their homeland and almost conquered Europe. He forced the Eastern Roman Empire to pay him a fee in exchange for not attacking them. He also demanded to marry the sister of the emperor of the Western Empire, with half the empire as a dowry, a request which was refused and caused bloodshed.
