About Rugila, king of the Huns

Rugila also referred to as Ruhas, Ruga and Rua (Greek: ΄Ρούγας, ΄Ροϋνας, ΄Ρωίλας) , was a warlord who was a major factor in the Huns' early victories over the Roman Empire. Under his command, the Huns invaded Roman territory and, after threatening the capitol, managed to take tribute from the Roman emperor of the time. He also forced the Roman Empire to give up all the rogue Hunnish soldiers they had acquired over the years. This was a big event, because the Roman Empire had come to rely on all of their Hunnish soldiers. His most important act, though was that he united the Huns under his sole kingship by 432. In 434, he was succeeded by his nephews Attila and Bleda. He served as an important forerunner to Attila the Hun during the fifth century AD.

A Wikipédiából, a szabad enciklopédiából.

Ruga (más nevein Rhuas, Rugila, Rua, ΄Ρούγας, ΄Ρωίλας) (kb. 365-kb. 434/35) 432-ben még hadvezérként egyesítette a hunokat. Nagyjából 425-től 435-ig volt uralkodó. 432-ben a római hadvezér Aetius hadvezér hozzá menekült; Ruga segítségével megszerezte a Nyugat-római Birodalom irányítását. A segítségért cserébe átengedte a hunoknak Pannóniát és Valeriát. Halálának körülményei nem tisztázottak, találgatások szerint a trón várományosainak, unokaöccseinek – Bleda és Attila – is köze lehetett hozzá.
