Battle of Chalons



At the Battle of Chalons (also called the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields or the Battle of the Catalun) in 451, a Roman coalition led by General Flavius Aëtius and the Visigothic king Theodoric I clashed violently with the Hunnic alliance commanded by King Attila. This battle was the last major military operation of the Western Roman Empire and the apex of the career of Flavius Aëtius.
