Talk:Rugila

Untitled
Of course, if Ruga and Rugila are indeed the same person, as it seems, the two articles should be merged. (Note that, right now, the best description is found in the disambiguation page Rua.) Pasquale 22:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

"In 434, he was succeeded briefly by his brother Mundzuk, who was rumoured to have had Rugila killed. For this he was expelled and his sons Attila and Bleda became joint rulers of the united Hunnic tribes." What is the source of these claims? Did somebody found a new ancient text? It would have to be an epochal event, because I have never heard about any historical source stating these things. 89.235.19.212 (talk) 17:18, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Of course, it is garbage that somebody read in a popular history book written by some confused amateur. Centrum99 (talk) 05:54, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Rugila - Rok(o)lia - Ruha
The name is related - more probably than the wild etimologies in the article - to the Old Slavic рокля meaning skirt. Some of the Huns wore a long coat or caftan which resembled a skirt, and they wore a white undergarment which looked like a skirt as well. In Hungarian it's been preserved as rokolya (skirt) and ruha (modern meaning shifted towards "piece of garment / clothes").178.48.177.1 (talk) 14:48, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
