The first Germanic peoples to cross into Roman territories did so to carry out raids and loot. They then returned to their homelands. The First Germanic peoples to settle in parts of the Roman Empire were the Salian Franks and the Visigoths.
The Salian Franks moved across the mouth of the River Rhine into Holland south of that river and northern Belgium in the late 3rd century. They did so because they were pushed southwards by other Germanic peoples, probably the Saxons. The Romans allowed them to settle in this area, which they called Toxandria, and gave them protection. The Salian Franks became allies of the Romans, and fought alongside their troops and supplied solders for the Roman army.
The Visigoths asked the Romans to allow them to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire to escape the advance of the Huns into eastern Europe. The emperor Valens granted this in 376.
