This Week:
Stupid Deaths in History!
Attila the Hun:
One of the most notorious villains in history, Attila's army had conquered all
of Asia by 450 AD-from
Mongolia
to the edge of the Russian Empire-by destroying villages and pillaging the
countryside.
How he died: From holding his breath too long on his wedding night.
In 453 AD, Attila married a young girl named Ildico. Despite his reputation
for ferocity on the battlefield, he was a timid little guy when it came
to matters of love. After
completely failing to satisfy his bride on the night of their nuptials, Ildico
offered to show Attila what to do to please a woman.
Attila, being the proud savage and insecure nut job that he was,
steadfastly refused. An argument
ensued and Attila told his new wife that he was going to hold his breath until
she changed the subject. She finally changed it when her blue-faced husband
keeled over dead.
