Abstract
In this study, I examine the „Battle of the Catalaunian Plains”. In the first part, the causes of the campaign of 451 are discussed; the treachery of Honoria, the Frank succession, and the Ostrogotic immigrants in the Visigothic Court. Then I present the campaign, describing how the opposite forces manoeuvred, what their plans were, and how they arrived at the place of the battle. The battle plans and the fight of the forces, which continued through the night, are also analysed. Then the next couple of days, the sieges of the camps, and the reason, why the Romans left the battlefield are described. The paper is completed with the author’s conclusions, the examination of the performance of the military leaders, the losses of the opposing forces, and claiming the winner.
