About Escama of the Huns
By tradition an unnamed daughter (or perhaps granddaughter) of Attila the Hun married his lieutenant Ardaric, king of the Gepids. The source for her name Escama (Escam, Ascama) is not known.
The relationships are plausible, but there is no evidence. There is also no evidence, and it is unlikely, that this woman and Ardaric were parents of Elemund, king of the Gepids.
Some genealogists prefer to call her a daughter of Attila's son Elak, king of the Huns, perhaps by a daughter of Hunimund, king of the Ostrogoths. This would give her a connection to the Ostrogoths, and by circular reasoning, seem to strengthen the claim that she was a grandmother of Austrigusa.
