Everyone learned at school that the Huns, led by Attila, invaded Gaul in 451 and were defeated at the Catalaunian Fields.

But do we know precisely on what date, at what location(s) and in what manner the Roman Aetius and his barbarian allies inflicted this crushing defeat on the savage hordes?

Many scholars have attempted to reconstruct this clash of titans that took place beneath the walls of Troyes. The author has synthesised current research, selecting its most relevant elements and bringing them together to create a coherent and comprehensive account.

Crécy, Poitiers, Agincourt… the history of the Hundred Years' War as it is taught is punctuated solely by great land battles, chevauchées across France, and sieges of towns and fortresses. Reading these accounts, one would never imagine that this long conflict was also a naval war — that squadrons clashed at sea, that numerous merchant vessels were sunk...
