The Vandals, Sueves and Alans crossed into Gaul in 406 from central Europe. The Vandals and Sueves were Germanic peoples. The Alans were Iranian speakers.

The Vandals ravaged Gaul and moved to Spain. Later they went to Africa where they established a kingdom. The used Africa as a base for raids in the European shores of the Mediterranean. They sacked Rome in 455. This is the origin of the current meaning of the word vandal. The Sueves and the Alans moved into Spain and Portugal and were later absorbed into the kingdom of the Visigoths.

The Burgundians are thought to have been part of this wave of migration into Gaul, though there is not a written record of when they invaded. They settled in eastern France and established the kingdom of Burgundy.

The Alemanni of southern Germany took advantage of the invasion of 406 to take over Alsace, Lorraine and Switzerland.

The Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians of northern Holland migrated to Britannia in many waves.
