The exact origin of the Huns is unknown. Legend has it that they were driven out after the death of Xiong Nu or some time after the death of Xiong Nu. Either way their culture was very diverse and they were by far the most fearsome of the barbarians in the Roman Western Empire. Their use of horse riding in combat was like nothing ever seen before, and their mastery of the bow was remarkable. The Romans had no way of stopping them, so they had to pay a fee to get them to stop attacking them. They eventually invaded Gaul but some time after that collapsed.
