Did A Meeting With Pope Leo The Great Convince Him To Spare The Capital Of The Western Half Of The Empire? Did A Vision From St Peter Induce Attila To Convert To Christianity? Was Attila Murdered By His New Bride? Many Authors And Chroniclers Have Provided Many Answers To The Many Questions, But The Lack Of Answers Has Allowed Atilla To Become The Face Of Ancient Barbarity And The Embodiment Of The Furious Nomadic Conqueror Binding:Paperback, PaperbackPublisher:Createspace Independent Publishing PlatformPublication Date:2014-11-23Weight:0.35 lbsDimensions:0.23'' H x 9.02'' L x 5.98'' WNumber of Pages:110Language:English
