The Assistance of the Hun's to West Rome             


        These tribes who were almost 45 in their number, of various languages and races, had just been a political society in the eye of the Turkish states system. Foreign tribes were tied up to the Hun Empire only through their chiefs, commanders or their kings.
 
        Silence was dominating within the emperorship. Except for the Agacheri revolt, which was repressed by Onegesius (Oneguz) the commander (General Staff Manager) of the Hun army and the Ilek the elder son of Attila in 422, the silence had not been broken. However the peasantry revolts (Bagauda's) had agitated the system and the public order in the Roman Empire which was caused by things like the robbing of the crop from the native by force and the immigrating tribes who made a huge destruction on places they stayed and on the roads they passed. Because of this Rome again applied for the help of the Hun's through Patricius Aetius. After two years of combats the revolting chiefs had been beaten by Aetius and the Hun squads Attila had sent (436).
 
        But this time they had to fight against the Burgond's who had attacked the Belgium region under the leadership of King Gundikar. These fights took place especially along the sides of river Neckar and commanded by Oktar the "King" of the west wing. According to narrations, this Hun-Burgond battle, where 20 thousand Burgonds died, was also a part of "Niebelungen" the famous legend of the Germans. After the wars that were finalized with the occupation of whole "Germania", following tribes were taken under the Turk administration in the years following 436: Franks, Turings, Longobards. The stories of the Hun's who had reached the "Ocean Islands, in other words the North Sea and the shores of the English Channel, had been recorded by the modern historian Priskos.
