Battles mentioned in Finnesgans Wake are:

  • The Battle of Chalons, also called the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields or the Battle of the Catalun, which took place in 451 between the allied forces and foederati led by the Roman general Aetius and the [fishygods|Visigothic] king Theodorid on one side, and the Huns led by their king Attila and their allies (e.g. the Ostrogoths). This battle was the last major military operation of the Western Roman Empire. (cf. Page 4).
