Rising out of the East in the 4th and 5th centuries, the Huns were known for their horsemanship and skill in warfare. Led by the legendary Attila, "the Scourge of God," their military prowess led to the creation of the Great Wall of China and brought the Roman Empire to the brink of destruction. Ultimately, only malaria could bring an end to their reign of terror, as Attila, on his wedding night, drowned in his own blood.
