Rutulians that Lavinia was soon to be married, knowing

this would upset him because he

planned to marry her

The Latins and Rutulians joined forces to fight

Aeneas and the other Trojans

was highly regarded by all the Latin

people

The Trojan camp was being heavily attacked while

Aeneas was away gaining forces

If it had not been for Nisus and Euryalus, the Trojans would

have died and Aeneas would never have gained power

Nisus and Euryalus were able to fend off

the invading soldiers long

enough for Aeneas and his men to return, but not

before the two men died

Nisus and Euryalus left during the night and silently killed more than half of

the Latin and Rutulian warriors

much for the Latins and Rutulians and Aeneas defeated
