Attila
Legends about Attila and the sword of Mars

Jordanes embellished the report of Priscus, reporting that Attila had possessed the "Holy War Sword of the Scythians ", which was given to him by Mars and made him a "prince of the entire world".

Lampert of Hersfeld 's contemporary chronicles report that shortly before the year 1071, the Sword of Attila had been presented to Otto of Nordheim by the exiled queen of Hungary, Anastasia of Kiev. This sword, a cavalry sabre now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, appears to be the work of Hungarian goldsmiths of the ninth or tenth century.
