 | | Considering that the Huns who invaded Europe represented a loose coalition of various peoples, it is not entirely out of the question that Magyars were present among those ethnic groups as well. | | | Chionites (OIONO/Xiyon) appear on the scene in Transoxiana as the Kidarites begin to press on the Kushans in 320 and the Jie ethnicity Hou/Later Zhao kingdom competes against the Liu family. | | | This usage was reinforced by Allied propaganda throughout the war, prompting hatred of the Germans by invoking the idea that they were brutal savages. |

| | A strict though fruitless inquiry was allowed; but the Huns were obliged to swear that they did not detain any prisoners belonging to the city before they could recover two surviving countrymen whom the Azimuntines had reserved as pledges for the safety of their lost companions. | | | But this perfidious conspiracy was defeated by the dissimulation, or the repentance, of Edecon; and though he might exaggerate his inward abhorrence for the treason which he seemed to approve, he dexterously assumed the merit of an early and voluntary confession. | | | His alliance with the Romans of the West was cemented by his personal friendship for the great Aetius, who was always secure of finding in the barbarian camp an hospitable reception and a powerful support. |

| | This was in 447 AD, a time when the Empire was already suffering a series of natural catastrophes - earthquakes, pestilence and famine - and it is little wonder that the by now Christian Romans saw the Huns as the very Horsemen of the Apocalypse. | | | These peoples were to found a new Empire which troubled the Byzantines for hundreds of years, and were known as the Bulgars. | | | The event which, more than any other, presaged the fall of the Roman Empire was the arrival of a group of the Huns in Eastern Europe, forcing many Germanic peoples to migrate southwards and westwards and setting off a chain reaction which could only end with the inundation of the Empire itself. |

| | The Hungarian parliament have rejected an attempt by people claiming descent from Attila the Hun to be recognised as an ethnic minority. | | | The group claiming to be Huns blamed the vote on what they called a pseudo-scientific opinion of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences - a 19th Century theory on the origin of the Hungarian people which leaves no room for the Huns, which they challenge in its entirety. | | | This was the first time that a new group claiming minority status in Hungary has persuaded parliament to even consider their request. |

| | This goes directly against Procopius who wrote in 550 A.D. that the 'Ephthalitae' were 'the only ones among the Huns who have white bodies and are not ugly' and 'are not nomads like the other Hunnic peoples, but for a long period have been established in a goodly land'. | | | And is certainly the case with regard to the coins of, and the peoples known as, the 'White Huns', most of whom were probably not white nor huns. | | | Amazingly, there is an article on the Internet about the 'Ephthalites' by Richard Heli; includes a timeline; also, another about 'The White Huns' at the silk-road.com site. |

| | Gardonyi did a great deal of research for the book and, while he gets many things wrong (he has his Huns using stirrups and horse-shoes and includes some mythical tribes in Attila's army) the attention to detail and the realism of the writing is remarkable. | | | The climax of the book is Attila's invasion of Gaul in 451 and the lengthy and remarkable battle scene as Zeta takes part in the massive Battle of Chalons between Attila and Aetius. | | | To the Hungarians, Attila is a national hero and the detailed reconstruction of life amongst these nomads along with this sympathy for their perspective makes the book quite remarkable. |
