The Germanic peoples lived to the north of the Roman Empire. Only three Germanic groups were allowed to settle within the Roman Empire: the Franks, the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths.

The Germanic peoples who begun the invasion of the western part of the Roman empire with the invasion of Gaul in 406 were the Vandals, the Sueves and the Burgundians. The Alans, who were Iranian-speakers, were also part of this invasion. Al these peoples came from central Europe. The Alemanni (Germanics from southern Germany) took advantage of this invasion to seize Lorraine (in northwestern France) and Switzerland.

The Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians from northern Holland (all of them were Germanic) migrated to Britain in waves and took it over.
