Summary "Histoire d'Attila et de ses successeurs" by Amédée Thierry is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the life of Attila, the infamous king of the Huns, and explores the impact of his reign and the legacy left by his successors. It promises an in-depth examination of Attila's historical reality, moving beyond the mythical image that has surrounded him over the centuries. At the start of the text, the author introduces the project, explaining his growing fascination with Attila while researching the Roman Gauls. Thierry aims to depict Attila as he truly was, assisted by historical fragments from contemporary sources such as Priscus, who encountered Attila during an embassy. The opening details the sources that will inform this study, including Roman chronicles and Germanic traditions, setting the stage for a complex exploration of Attila's character and the myriad interpretations of his legacy across different cultures. The narrative also hints at the broader scope of the work, which will trace the influence of Attila's empire long after his death through his descendants and their continued impact on European history.
