Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that in 452, Pope Leo I met Attila the Hun, after which Attila withdrew from Italy without attacking Rome?

Yes. A reference work states that Attila invaded Italy in 452 and that Pope Leo I met him and persuaded him to withdraw; other reference items confirm the 452 meeting and that Rome was spared, though some omit the year or the meeting itself.
