Invasions significantly shaped the development of Europe by leading to the fragmentation of political entities and the rise of feudalism, as local lords gained power to protect their territories. The Viking, Mongol, and Muslim invasions, among others, disrupted trade and established new cultural exchanges, driving innovation and adaptation. These invasions also contributed to the spread of ideas, technologies, and religions, ultimately influencing the social and economic landscape of medieval Europe. This period of turmoil and transformation laid the groundwork for the emergence of modern European states.

The most important event during the period of European invasions, particularly the Viking Age (circa 793-1066), was the raid on Lindisfarne in 793. This event marked the beginning of extensive Viking incursions into Europe, leading to significant cultural and political changes across the continent. It not only showcased the Vikings' naval prowess but also highlighted the vulnerability of monasteries and settlements, leading to increased fortifications and shifts in power dynamics throughout Europe.
The Viking, Magyar, and Muslim invasions of Europe in the early Middle Ages directly contributed to the development of feudalism. These invasions created a climate of instability and insecurity, prompting local rulers to seek protection from powerful lords in exchange for land and service. This system of mutual obligation led to the establishment of a hierarchical social structure, where land ownership and loyalty became paramount for survival and governance. As a result, feudalism became the dominant political and social system in medieval Europe.
The Vikings rode in on ships and fought on foot, the Magyars rode in on horses and were masters of horseback archery. They both were good at using hit and run tactics.
I believe it was the loot (plus a sense they were REAL men if they led that kind of life).
During the 7th, 8th, and 9th centuries, Western Europe experienced invasions primarily from Muslim armies, particularly during the Umayyad Caliphate's expansion. Additionally, Viking raids from Scandinavia targeted various coastal areas and inland settlements, particularly in the British Isles and Frankish territories. The Magyars also launched incursions into Eastern and Central Europe during this period. These invasions significantly shaped the political and cultural landscape of Europe.
The Vikings killed people and asaulted women. They also stole supplies and damaged things.
