• Notes

  The Battle of Nedao, was a battle fought in Pannonia in 454, between Huns and their former vassals. Nedao is believed to be a tributary of Sava river.[4] After the death of Attila the Hun, allied forces of the subject peoples under the leadership of Ardaric, king of the Gepids, defeated the Hunnic forces of Ellac, the son of Attila, who had struggled with his brothers Ernak and Dengizich for supremacy after Attila's death. Ellac himself was killed in the battle.[5] According to the 6th-century historian Jordanes: And so the bravest nations tore themselves to pieces. For then, I think, must have occurred a most remarkable spectacle, where one might see the Goths fighting with pikes, the Gepidae raging with the sword, the Rugi breaking off the spears in their own wounds, the Suavi fighting on foot, the Huns with bows, the Alani drawing up a battle-line of heavy-armed and the Heruli of light-armed warriors.[6] Jordanes claims that, in the battle of Nedao, Ostrogoths fought against the Huns but this is rejected by some modern historians like Herwig Wolfram[7] or Hyun Jin Kim. The latter believes that this is a forged story and that Valamir himself fought alongside the Huns.[8] On the contrary, J.R. Martindale and Franz Altheim accept that the Ostrogoths were among the victors of Nedao, while many others, including Otto J. Maenchen-Helfen, believe that they did not participate at all.[1]
