Ernakh

Ernakh

Ernakh or Ernac (Priscus: "Ήρνάχ" "Hernach") was the 3rd son of Attila. After Attila's death in 453 AD, his empire crumbled and its remains were ruled by Ernakh. He is considered to have reigned from 453 AD to 503 AD over the Utigur Bulgars, a tribe which formed a substantial part of the former empire and inhabited the lands of modern Ukraine.

According to the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans, a ruler named Irnik was a leader of the Bulgars for 150 years and his reign began approximately in 453 AD. Some historians consider Ernakh and Irnik to have been the same person.

According to Procopius and the Utigur khan Sandilch, Ernakh had two sons: :"one called Utigur and another called Kutrigur. After their father's death they shared the power and gave their names to the subjected peoples, so that even nowadays some of them are called Utigurs and the others - Kutrigurs." Priscus. Excerpta de legationibus. Ed. S. de Boor. Berolini, 1903, p. 586]
