Attila the Hun: P.2 In Power | 431AD-440AD

Attila the Hun, for all of his known military prowess, little discussed is how he conducted himself as a political entity. What was he like as king? How did he present himself to his people and foreign envoys alike? What message was he trying to convey about himself as ruler? We also look at the tip of his military innovations in this episode. Saint Patrick, aside from Saint Nicholas, is perhaps the most widely recognized saints on the popular level in the Western world by Roman Catholics and non-Roman Catholics alike. Yet, what did he do in Ireland that has since won him such notoriety on such a wide scale? There is no question that the future of Ireland itself continues to be deeply influenced by Patrick all of these centuries later. ** Join Field Marshal Odo's A.D.ophyte Army on Patreon!: https://patreon.com/adhistorypodcast/

Have you ever wondered about all the history we’ve missed? The amazing figures that are seemingly forgotten, incredible events passed over, or what a picture of true world history actually looks like? Or how history played out in the eyes of those who lived it and made it? The A.D. History Podcast explores the last two thousand years of world history, in an innovative new way. Join hosts Paul K. DiCostanzo and Patrick Foote as they examine the past two millennia, beginning in 1 AD, progressing forward ten years every episode until they reach the modern day. Within each ten-year installment, Paul and Patrick aim to share incredibly important, but often overlooked historic events and figures from around the world in prospective fashion; trying to see history through the eyes and in the world of those who lived it. By identifying these sometimes lesser known, but in no way less significant aspects of history, A.D. History seeks to identify the many disparate threads that weave the fuller, richer tapestry of history from around the world.
