In 451, Attila, king of the Huns, launched a military campaign in Gaul. Faced with him, Generalissimo Aetius, the strongman of the Western Roman Empire, succeeded in assembling a huge united army. On a vast champagne plain, their battle ended in a bloodbath, with no clear victory. Attila, cornered, fled unharmed with his booty. But the Romans could not have defeated him without the help of the coalition of barbarians. The battle of the Catalaunic Fields foreshadowed the decline of the two empires.
