Attila the Hun, a legendary commander and the founder of an empire, is reputed by the contemporary historian Priscus to have died of a nosebleed after his wedding. However, the nosebleed only proved to be fatal as the blood ran down Attila’s throat causing him to choke to death. This occurred as a result of Attila the Hun being intoxicated and walking into a beam. The impact knocked the famous leader unconscious, and caused his nose to bleed. Ironically, his new wife watched him die, too terrified to call for help.
