I take your point in a way but he didn't mind mentioning that the Ostrogoths were fighting on Attila's side and to me it doesn't sound too glorious to have the king of the Visigoths fall off his horse and get trampled by his own troops while they were fleeing than to die in battle, killed by a spear. I think there may be a bit more to it than a perception of Goth unity.
