- đ© The Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, (AD 451), battle fought between the Huns under Attila and a mixed Roman and Visigoth force under Aetius and Theodoric I; checked the Hunnic advance in Europe. The battle, long-remembered for its ferocity, resulted in Attilaâs defeat, though the casualty figures in traditional accounts are probably exaggerated. The Hunsâ defeat prevented the widespread destruction and spoliation of Gaul, but it is unlikely that Attilaâs horde could have made any deep impression upon the Latin and urban character of the country.

Seeing the empire like this is heartbreaking
This dudes voice was MADE for epic historical voiceovers. He better be being recruited by videogame studios for narration roles. Freaking epic and gets me pumped!
Epic story!! Attila the Hun goes toe to toe with his old friend - two men with fierce military prowess. Nicely done my friend! Anything to do with this man is awesome - even more so that you brought this clash to life!
The Catalunian Plains' battle was so epic, it served as an important inspiration for Tolkien when he wrote LOTR. In fact, King Theoden's story is heavily based on Theodoric I
That dynamically fluid visual history of peoples and cultures flowing across the map during the first two minutes was incredible! â€đ
I know Theodocious II was a minor player in this video, but you should have mentioned HOW he got the walls repaired so fast, because that story shows how clever a man he was. He leveraged the rivalries between the fans of the red, white, green, and blue chariot racing teams to get them to rebuild the walls in record time and pay for almost all of it from their own pockets!
They literally did everything different in the 2001 movie "Attila". The inaccuracies are endless.
i am a visual learner and putting these five episodes together REALLY helps me to put this very complex history together. i saw the individual episodes, but this unified story had a much greater impact on me. An important part of this was seeing the differing time scales play out on the maps. Don't get me started on how wonderful Your maps are! The color changes and movement timed to the narrative bring it to life! Beautiful, educational work brilliantly conceived and executed! Thank You and Your patrons !:-)
"Atila, that boar would have killed me had you not intervened."
Aetius was â rewardedâ for his good work, by being murdered by the Emperor. Rome had a bad habit of killing many of their best leaders,
Excellent mini-series! I read a lot on this period and on the main actors, but most documents provide a single point of view or focus on a single event (the life of Bonifacius, of Galla Placidia, of Aetius, of Attila, the migration/invasion of Vandals, the changing alliances of Wisigoths, the destruction of the first Burgundian kingdom etc.), but the big picture and the connections between events are here better presented than in any other document I saw or read. Thumbs up!
THIS WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!
I guess Aetius was well aware of the power of the Visigoths and somehow hoped to keep the menace of Attila around both to keep the Germans hands tied and those of the Romans too.
La grande classe!!! Resuming such a mess for decades is a real "tour de force", with the beautiful music of the English language you speak, it is a delight!!!
"Whether well or not, I do not know. But know that you have cut off your right hand with your left."
MulÈumesc frumos, vouÄ celor care ĂźncercaÈi cu aceste documentare video sÄ ne faceÈi zilele mai bune! Sunt lucruri neÈtiute de mine, deoarece istoria este cu mult mai amplÄ, cu ajutorul vostru ĂźnÈelegem ce trebuie! Respect!
This was a true epic story, your narration and visual style are top of the line! If there is one more thing I could advise you guys: Many other channels have started including their research, notes and/or links in the description. You should consider adding them there so people who wish to study this period more, either with contemporary or modern sources, can start at and do so.
Wow, amazing narative! I was presented with the video by chance then I stick all the way to the end! Thank you so much for the video, I have thoroughly enjoyed it! The pre-battle background and the post-battle consequences as well as the character building are great bonus in addition to the battle itself!
Really Really enjoyed the way you showed population movements during this! Helped so much in visualizing this whole point in history!
