The Huns were a nomadic people who lived in the fifth century. They were known for their fierce and warlike nature, and were one of the most powerful groups of nomads in Europe at the time. They were also known for their skill in horsemanship and archery, and were feared by many of the neighboring peoples. The Huns were eventually defeated by the Roman Empire in the fifth century, but their legacy remains in the form of their influence on European culture.
