The '''Battle of Chalons''' took place in A.D. 451 during the twilight period of the Roman Empire.  During this time, the [[Romans]] had to count heavily on military alliances with neighboring barbarian tribes to keep their empire from being overrun.

The [[Romans]] joined forces with the [[Visigoths]] and defeated the [[Huns]] and their allies in [[Gaul]]. The Huns were led by their famous leader [[Attila the Hun|Attila]], known as the "Scourge of God". The victory by the Romans was considered a monumental event in history as it prevented Europe being overrun by Asiatic conquerors and allowed [[Christianity]] to continue to flourish.
